The scene was set for an additional disappointing evening of soccer in London after West Ham took the lead by way of an excellent Lucas Paqueta objective.
One other sport that the Reds would battle to claw again a objective and hopes of three factors secured all however down the drain… till Cody Gakpo’s equaliser reignited Liverpool’s spark and arrange a exceptional comeback within the English capital.
Recounting the aftermath of the occasion, Jordan Henderson revealed Jurgen Klopp’s delight together with his aspect’s response.
“What was most pleasing was how we got here by way of as a crew, particularly after going a objective right down to a aspect which all the time provides opponents a correct check,” the skipper wrote in matchday programme notes (by way of the club’s official website).
“The gaffer was significantly happy with the best way we responded to that setback and so have been we.
“It is a high quality that underpinned a whole lot of our success in earlier seasons and I believe if you wish to obtain in soccer it must be a necessary a part of your armoury since you are by no means going to have all the pieces your individual manner.”
The end result leaves the Merseysiders in seventh, only a level behind Tottenham in fifth with a sport in hand on Spurs to play.
It’s a disgrace of epic proportions that we couldn’t have found this degree of grit and need earlier within the marketing campaign (certainly, we’d have been discussing a fairly completely different marketing campaign in that occasion), although it’s a vastly optimistic signal forward of the following marketing campaign.
We might have Trent Alexander-Arnold’s new hybrid function to thank for that (together with Ibrahima Konate’s reliability because the right-sided centre-back as well), although there’s been a marked enchancment from all corners of the squad within the dying levels of 2022/23.
Let’s hope we are able to preserve constructing this momentum going into the final six video games of the season.
