October 27, 2020 / Sports / By Ayomide John

For the first time in 51 home games in all competitions, Liverpool failed to register a shot on target in the first half after a goalless opening 45 minutes against Midtjylland at Anfield.

However, the deadlock was broken and shattered in the second half as Diogo Jota’s simple finish in the box gave the home side the lead.

It took the last kick of the game – a penalty before the Reds doubled their lead through Mohammed Salah as they top D with six points after two games.

On the flip side, Diogo Jota’s goal in the 55th minute is the club’s 10,000th goal 128 years after the first was scored in 1892 by Jock Smith in the Lancashire League.
