Ryan Gravenberch, a midfielder for Liverpool, received a wonderful message from Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber following his goal against Toulouse on Thursday night.

 

In the Europa League encounter at Anfield, Liverpool defeated Toulouse 5-1 thanks to the 21-year-old’s game-winning goal.

Gravenberch scored his second goal for the Reds in this competition, and Jurgen Klopp hailed his performance as “incredible”.

The Dutch midfielder who joined in the summer from Bayern Munich took to Instagram, and posted – “Brilliant European night under the lights.”

Several Liverpool players have commented on his post and shared their love and admiration for him.

Arsenal defender Timber, who is currently out injured, also dropped a message, saying – “My Guy.”

Gradual progress at Liverpool

Gravenberch has shown flashes of brilliance so far, but the potential is enormous.

Klopp has got a wealth of midfield options at his disposal and he is not ready to throw him into the starting line-up on a weakly basis.

He would rather help him integrate into the side so that the Dutch midfielder can play to his fullest potential when the time is right. This has been a hallmark of Klopp’s training method.

However, the latest performance should thrill the German manager, and it will be interesting to see if Gravenberch gets more game time in the Premier League, even from the bench.

Liverpool were ruthless against Toulouse and they should aim to win this competition this time around.

While it’s easier said than done, Liverpool do have enough strength and quality to win this trophy, which will give them direct access to the Champions League next season.

The Reds have made a strong start to their new campaign and are expected to mount a serious challenge for the title.

Despite the visitors finding an early equaliser in the Europa League tie, the hosts were in rampant form, and delivered three goals before the break, with another two in the second-half – all from different scorers.

Summer signings Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo both found the back of the Ligue 1 side’s net, along with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Diogo Jota.

 

The German manager was also able to hand a full debut to Luke Chambers as he reshuffled his backline, and academy youngsters Calum Scanlon and James McConnell also came on to get their first senior minutes under their belt.

A third win in three which puts the side atop Group E with half of the group stage played ensured that the night was full of positives for a side looking every inch Liverpool 2.0 after a successful summer rebuild.

Very,’ Klopp responded when asked if he was happy with the night’s work by TNT Sports. ‘Very happy.

How difficult the game could have been you saw in moments that were difficult, but the majority of the time we were in complete control and scored wonderful goals, could have scored more.
