Liverpool 5-0 Huddersfield: The anatomy of Naby Keita’s goal laid bare

Naby Keita scored Liverpool’s first goal of their 5-0 win against Huddersfield on Friday night and this is the anatomy of that goal laid bare.

Keita hit the back of the net after only 15 seconds as the Reds got off to a lightning start at Anfield.

And this video clip lays bare the anatomy of the goal – which was brought about by the midfielder’s determined running and dedication to Jurgen Klopp’s press.

Keita has had an up and down campaign, but has made a late burst into the Liverpool fans collective conscious with three goals in five games.

In the Bundesliga, the former RB Leipzig man was a bustling powerhouse who influenced things at both ends of the pitch. The Reds are starting to see this more and more from Keita, and goals like the one on Friday night are a prime example of his perfect attitude.

Because the midfielder was off, closing down a man who hadn’t even got the ball yet. It was such a good example of how match intelligence and hard work can combine to create a chance out of nothing!

The only shame from it all was that it wasn’t even the league’s fastest goal of the week after Southampton man Shane Long grabbed one after just seven seconds.

It was a beautiful night for a number of reasons as Andy Robertson became the joint-highest assist maker for a defender in Premier League history. Robbo needs just one more to surpass Leighton Baines’ 11 for Everton.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has seven, while Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are now the league’s two top scorers with 20 and 21 goals.

The team is going from strength to strength, and even Barcelona must be scared of what this team can do to them when it all goes well. Now it’s on to that semi-final first leg.
