CLUB FRIENDLIES: LIVERPOOL SETTLE FOR A 2-2 DRAW AFTER MIGNOLET’S RIDICULOUS MISTAKE
Joseph Omoniyi
Liverpool ended their US tour without a win, after ending their game against Sporting Lisbon with a 2-2 draw.
Liverpool went behind in the match as early as the 4th minute after Manchester United target, Bruno Fernandes’ classic strike from outside the box was ridiculously dropped into the net by ‘classic’ Mignolet.
Liverpool responded well and Divock Origi poked in when Jordan Henderson’s header was saved (20) and they took a half-time lead when Giorginio Wijnaldum’s effort struck Luis Neto on its way past Renan Ribeiro a minute before the break.
Sporting got back on level terms nine minutes into the second period when Fernandes sold Trent Alexander-Arnold with a lovely turn before feeding Wendel to slot in the equaliser, but despite forcing a number of saves out of Mignolet as the game wore on, the Portuguese side could not find a winner.
