Jacquet scores on Liverpool debut in friendly win over Como
The centre-back impressed in the early stages with some well-timed challenges and rounded off a fine debut for the Reds with a tap-in from Cody Gakpo's cross.
On his debut for Liverpool, Jeremy Jacquet scored a goal in a friendly pre-season match against Serie A side Como at Anfield on Sunday. The 21-year-old French centre-back had recently agreed a £60 million transfer from Como, but a persistent knee injury had kept him out of action until the arrival of Cesc Fabregas's team. Jacquet's performance was impressive, with well-timed challenges leading to a goal from Cody Gakpo in the 44th minute, giving Liverpool a 2-0 lead.
Ronald Araujo, another debutant, replaced Jacquet at halftime, and the Frenchman's contribution was also noteworthy. Iraola praised the performances of both newcomers, as well as Jeremie Frimpong, who played as a right-back in the second half. Gravenberch came closest to scoring in the second half, but Liverpool managed to secure a clean sheet and win the match 2-0.
The manager expressed that the team needed more finishing touch for their upcoming Premier League opener against Newcastle a week later.
