The visitors have barely been in this game but they have a series of chances in quick succession inside the Liverpool box as the hosts fail to clear the lines. Robertson blocks a shot before the ball comes to Gorosabel, whose effort clips the top of the bar.
Ngumoha is picked out with a sensational long diagonal out to the left touchline and his first touch is brilliant but he ends up conceding a free-kick. Ngumoha is fearless and brimming with confidence.
Liverpool’s passing has been so crisp so far. Mac Allister tries to pick out Nunez with a cross with the outside of his right foot but there is slightly too much on it and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick.
The visitors have been forced into an early change as Navarro has come on for Prados.
Arne Slot’s men have two in the first five minutes. Elliott and Doak exchange a neat one-two down Liverpool’s right before the latter stands up a cross to the back post. Ngumoha cushions a header into the path of Nunez, who volleys first time into the bottom corner. There is plenty of speculation surrounding Nunez’s future as he has been linked to a move to Saudi Arabia and Italy but that was a clinical finish from the Uruguayan. A goal and an assist already for Ngumoha.
