Liverpool Strike Back: Ekitike and Van Dijk Turn the Game Around 💥⚽

Liverpool showed their fighting spirit once again, coming from behind to take a 2–1 lead over Eintracht Frankfurt before the break. After conceding early, Arne Slot’s men responded with class — first through Hugo Ekitike and then through captain Virgil van Dijk in quick succession.

Ekitike’s equalizer arrived in the 35th minute following a beautiful link-up on the left flank. Andy Robertson charged forward with purpose and delivered a pinpoint cross that found Ekitike perfectly placed to calmly guide the ball into the net — a goal that reignited Liverpool’s energy and confidence.

Barely four minutes later, the turnaround was complete. Cody Gakpo, drifting out wide, whipped in a teasing ball from the right that met Van Dijk’s commanding header, leaving the Frankfurt goalkeeper helpless.

It was a display of true character — from Robertson’s creativity to Gakpo’s vision and Van Dijk’s leadership, Liverpool looked like a team reborn. As halftime approached, the Reds seemed in full control, brimming with rhythm and belief, as their captain’s goal sealed a stunning first-half comeback. 🚀🔴
