(Video) Liverpool's Jeremy Jacquet saves his team with a superb early block against Nottingham Forest in their Premier League opener. The 21-year-old French defender made an "outstanding" tackle in the 11th minute, coming to the rescue after Ola Aina’s cross found Dan Ndoye. Jacquet, who signed from Rennes for £55 million earlier this summer, started both of Liverpool’s first two matches under manager on-loan Ronald Araujo.
Despite falling behind in the 24th minute when Ndoye scored past Alisson Becker, Liverpool might not have made it as far without Jacquet’s crucial intervention. Soccer Saturday pundit Clinton Morrison hailed the defender’s performance, saying: "It’s an unbelievable cross from Aina to the back post… the tackle from Jacquet is outstanding."
