Injuries to Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez. The Liverpool team has become a hospital. That’s why coach Jurgen Klopp fielded a completely teenage team against Southampton in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
It was the young team that gave Liverpool a remarkable victory. The All Reds beat Southampton 3-0. After this victory, in addition to confirming the quarter-finals of the English FA Cup, Liverpool also got a tough opponent in the last eight. They have to face Manchester United in the fight to get to the semis.
Jaiden Dunas scored a brace for Liverpool and the other goal was scored by a young Peruno, 18-year-old Luis Comas. Both footballers scored their first goals for the senior team. Among them, Luis Comas made his debut against Southampton on Wednesday night.
Just three days ago, Liverpool won the English League Cup final by beating Chelsea 1-0. Salah and Nunez were injured in that match. Several people are already injured. Which is why Jurgen Klopp has to field a young team. But this young team did not disappoint him at all.
Danas, the double scorer, said after the match, ‘Shouldn’t I be very happy today? I think this is the best day of my life. I used to watch Liverpool games on TV from a very young age. I dreamed of scoring goals for Liverpool. So, won’t I be happy after this match?’
Lewis Comas is the 18-year-old son of former Wales footballer Jason Comas. Shortly before the end of the first half, Bobby got the ball from Clarke and put it in Southampton’s net. He showed great achievement of scoring goals on his debut.
Zayden Danas is also only 18 years old. Scored the first goal in the 73rd minute by sending the ball into the net over the head of the opponent’s goalkeeper. He scored again after 15 minutes.
“It was an incredible match,” said Klopp. It was a very nerve-wracking match. They were playing brilliantly all over the field. We needed to score. The boys have done that.’
