'Bayern fumbled' - Ryan Gravenberch wows Liverpool fans after first goal
Ryan Gravenberch has delighted Liverpool fans with his first-half display that brought his first goal for the club.
The 21-year-old was on hand to capitalise on Anthony Moris' mistake from Trent Alexander-Arnold's shot, to give the Reds a half-time lead against Royal Union Saint-Gilloise in their second Europa League encounter.
Gravenberch's impact was a much-needed one for Liverpool after a slack opening 45 minutes from Jurgen Klopp's side. Darwin Nunez had the ball in the back of the net but was adjudged to be offside, however, he had the best opening of the first 45 as he failed to convert from Mohamed Salah's cross from close-range.
The Holland under-21 international enjoyed a strong first-half showing against the Belgium top-flight leaders as he powered forward from midfield, netting a deserved goal to take the pressure off the Reds.

"We did it so that's good."
And he continued to stake his claim for a starting berth with an impressive display. His performance got supporters talking
