Liverpool vs Athletic Bilbao 4-1 -
Transcript
00:00Freddie Woodman coming out for the first time as a Liverpool goalkeeper in Anfield for the first time.
00:04Could he even believe he'd be here?
00:07And Rio N'Gamoa, my oh my, has he caught the ice.
00:12Well, he's been exciting, hasn't he?
00:14Exciting that Liverpool come out and, well, the old Adidas get his retro, isn't it?
00:19It's very much back to the day when I closed doors, but certainly the crowd makes it and the atmosphere makes it.
00:24And a great opposition and athletic as well.
00:27Get down to business.
00:32The evening sunshine, Anfield.
00:35Just as it was a couple of months ago when they won the Premier League title.
00:39There you go, but Liverpool have it back.
00:42And the buzz as N'Gamoa gets the ball and runs.
00:46Oh my goodness me!
00:48Is there anything he can't do?
00:51Rio N'Gamoa with another stunning moment for Liverpool.
00:57Well, we're trying to manage the expectation about this young lad, but when he does that in the opening minutes of a game,
01:05well, his first kind of big game at Anfield I suppose, I mean, what do you say about it?
01:11I mean, he just picks the ball up.
01:13There's only one intention in his mind, is that obviously to get a shot at goal.
01:17But it's all about picking the right effort.
01:20And the pick the right effort he does, it's a beautiful little ball.
01:25All credit to McAllister because he wins it in a good area of the pitch.
01:28But then the directness and the speed and the direction that he goes at N'Gamoa just opens his body up
01:34and looks for that far corner and finds it with applause.
01:37His little thread is for Ben Doak, N'Gamoa and N'Nuñez is there!
01:51Quite the start for Liverpool, two in five minutes and N'Gamoa turns provider for N'Nuñez to score.
02:06Well, it's brilliant build-up play down the right-hand side by Liverpool.
02:10Again, all credit to Curtis Jones because he wins the ball in the middle of the park
02:14and really starts to move off.
02:16Shows great determination.
02:18But then it's all about the little give and go here.
02:20Lovely little ball by Harvey Elliott, reverse little pass.
02:24And so many times, you know, the question, maybe Ben Doak's delivery into the box,
02:29but he picks out the right one on this occasion.
02:32And it's a lovely little header back.
02:33And one goal, one assist from the young man on the far side of our pitch here.
02:39But it's a lovely little finish by Darwin N'Nuñez.
02:41He stays alive, he gets a...
02:45Serrano.
02:53He just got that wrong.
02:56I see what he wanted.
02:58That'll be the question that he's trying to answer, I think.
03:00Duck will chase, but it's put it back into where Darwin N'Nuñez is for a tap-in.
03:07Would have been easy to go for goal having just scored.
03:10McAllister.
03:13Stephenson.
03:14This is McAllister.
03:16Not this time.
03:17They're back with anything from Athletic Club so far, but they are breaking here with Benninger.
03:29Stephenson is very quickly on to...
03:31They've still not got the ball away, and Robertson's made one, two really good blocks,
03:36and then the follow-up is fizzed up and over the top by Gorathabel.
03:41Well, really, that's the first opportunity that they've had.
03:46Really should have scored.
03:49That one there.
03:52We're on the slot side.
03:56Very nearly breached there.
04:00That's nicely done.
04:03Jones clipped.
04:04He's gone to Neone.
04:08Who in turn tries to find Darwin N'Nuñez.
04:11It was...
04:11As we reach the 20-minute mark, Anfield will pay tribute to Diogo Jota.
04:18Away.
04:21And Gamora again.
04:26Well, they managed to stop him this time.
04:29But before he again...
04:30Preston, when it still felt very raw, very emotional.
04:43Ramal, he wants part of the action as well.
04:46Here he goes.
04:47Oh, and the goalkeeper has to claw that away.
04:56Clearance by Robertson.
04:58Support outside him.
05:00That's a lovely ball.
05:03And the effort in the end is just blazed high and away from goal.
05:08But for a chance, it was a decent one for...
05:12Surprise.
05:15It was a good win momentarily to nick the ball back,
05:18but they soon lose it again.
05:19It's a movement, although they stay quite narrow.
05:22Serrano came inside.
05:23Here they go again.
05:24And the shot is over the top from Guruzeta.
05:32Yeah, it's kind of speculative from Guruzeta.
05:36He's got a lot to do, like, to score for.
05:38Jeremy Frimpong, perhaps the next.
05:48It's a little ball that's threaded, but the goalkeeper will get there.
05:56He's looking for that little run of Ben Doak.
05:58He's looking for that little run, watched by Neone, the ball.
06:07That's a lovely little ball.
06:09Delivered.
06:10The charging Darwin Nunez.
06:14It was a really good recovery tackle to get across and...
06:18Defensively, it's a lovely ball by Padilla.
06:21And the charging run and...
06:22Oh, the pass by Ben Inger.
06:26Doesn't find the man alongside him who was...
06:29Ben Inger will take the corner.
06:31And it's hammered in towards that near post again.
06:35They were...
06:36There goes Engelmoor again.
06:42They tried to get the ball away, and...
06:44Look at Serrano now.
06:46Oh, he's giving that away.
06:48That's a shot that's deflected...
06:50...to this first-half display.
06:54Ben Doak, my wife!
06:58Oh, and he caught that beautifully.
07:00And it took a very, very good stop from Padilla.
07:07Doak again.
07:11And it's going to squeeze in!
07:17His turn to light up Anfield.
07:21It's Liverpool's young guns again doing the damage.
07:24Well, isn't football such a strange, strange old game?
07:34He hits one just two seconds before out the top drawer.
07:37Meets it on the half-ball.
07:39It's sweet as a nut.
07:40And then, like this one, you just expect the goalkeeper to make the save.
07:44He doesn't.
07:45And it's just got enough power to take it past Padilla.
07:47The goalkeeper, I think, maybe should have done a little bit better, especially from that angle.
07:52I think it's actually going to cross the goal, and the hand from the goalkeeper takes it into the far corner.
07:58But all credit to Ben Doak.
08:01If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
08:04And that's exactly...
