An impressive showing from Nathan Collins helped Wolves earn a draw against Liverpool.
TWO PIECES of goalscoring brilliance were unable to paper over the cracks of holders Liverpool’s unconvincing start to their FA Cup defence in a 2-2 draw against an under-strength Wolves side, as Ireland international Nathan Collins won the man-of-the-match award.
Even an encouraging debut from £38 million signing Cody Gakpo could not hide the failings of a performance that lurched from the bad to the brilliant and back to poor again. Thiago Alcantara was dispossessed trying to dribble out of defence and his recovery tackle on Raul Jimenez put the Mexico striker on the floor which seemingly left everyone confused.
Collins’ cross-field ball to no-one was picked up by Alexander-Arnold who advanced and crossed for Uruguay international Nunez to score his first goal since returning from the World Cup.Reports From Qatar Get Gavin's exclusive writing and analysis from the 2022 Fifa World CupThe striker has been criticised for missing a host of chances in that time but despite all his apparent troubles he is still averaging almost a goal every other game with 10 in 23.
