Ibou Konate scored his first goal in nearly 900 days as he powered home a header from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross but there was much more to his display.
A rock at the back alongside Virgil van Dijk, our central defensive duo were on fine form in Italy and made up for an early Christian Pulisic with a near perfect performance afterwards.
Ever since replacing Jarell Quansah at half-time against Ipswich Town, our No.5 hasn’t looked back and long may his form and availability last.
