Three goals to end the wait

Remaining goalless during his first six appearances with the Reds, according to franceinfo and RMC Sport, the former Parisian first benefited from the work of Rio Ngumoha and the presentation of Lewis Koumas. At the 24th minute, his hit doubled Liverpool's advantage, which had just opened the score with Ronald Araújo's head on the corner of Kostas Tsimikas. [S1] [S2] [S3] [S5]

Barcola then converted a service from Florian Wirtz, with control in the race followed by a cross-strike from the left. After the break, he concluded at the second post a center on the ground of Jeremie Frimpong, at the 66th minute. Franceinfo, which relays a statistic from Opta, presents this performance as the first triple of his career; ESPN also reports in direct. [S2] [S5]

This success came after Liverpool's defeat of Manchester City, 3-0, and criticism of the French striker. The amounts of its transfer differ slightly according to the media: almost 145 million euros for franceinfo, about 140 million for RMC Sport. These estimates shed light on the expectations surrounding his arrival, without allowing them alone to judge his sporting performance. [S1] [S2] [S3]

Prolific but not impeccable Liverpool

Success is not based solely on his goaler. Tsimikas served Araújo and then Frimpong, the fourth goaler in the 51st minute. Koumas, already involved in Barcola's first goal, finally scored in the 72nd minute after seeing two achievements refused for off-game. The account of Foot Mercato and the follow-up to ESPN converge on this collective contribution. [S1] [S5]

Liverpool, however, allowed LASK to return several times. Ljubicic reduced the gap after the game hour, before Florian Flecker scored twice, in 74th and 77th minutes. The Reds turned a 6-1 lead into a 6-3 win. Their offensive effectiveness assures them points, but the opportunities granted in the second period nuance the impression of mastery. [S1] [S5]

Time differences, no results

There are some specific differences in reporting. Barcola's second goal is located at 37th minute by franceinfo, RMC Sport and ESPN, against 38th at Foot Mercato. RMC Sport also points to "1-0" for its first goal, while the chronology of Foot Mercato and d The consulted version of RMC remains focused on the first-period double; The final accounts confirm three goals of the Frenchman.

Feyenoord returns the situation against Como

In the other early evening meeting detailed by Foot Mercato, Feyenoord beat Como 3-2. Diao had given the advantage to the team of Cesc Fabregas in the 18th minute, but Zechiël equalized two minutes later. Hadj Moussa then placed the Dutch ahead of 52nd, before a goal against his Robert Sanchez camp at 82nd. Reducing the Douvikas gap in additional time was not enough. [S1]

Feyenoord thus took his first points in this league phase, according to Foot Mercato. This second poster is less documented in the combined sources: it is based here on this single report, while Barcola's performance in Linz is described by several media. [S1] [S2] [S3] [S5]
