asserted
Acheampong → move → him
Gravenberch’s tackle on Caicedo raised the stakes, with former Liverpool captain Henderson almost baiting the crowd who booed his every touch by collecting the ball before eventually handing over for Rogers to send Mamardashvili the wrong way from the spot.
asserted
Rogers → raise → spot
Liverpool’s response was almost instantaneous as, after a Trey Nyoni volley deflected for a corner, Fofana stuck up his arm in the ensuing scramble allowing Gakpo to equalise.
