Hugo Ekitike scores first Liverpool goal on August 10, 2025, in a competitive game against Crystal Palace. This moment marks an important milestone in his new Liverpool career and in his debut season at the club.
Florian Wirtz, who’s also a new signing for Liverpool, provided the assist to Ekitike. The German midfielder also joined the club in the same window. There were more expectations from them, as they were able to destabilize Palace defense and set Ekitike up for a clean, clinical strike past the goalkeeper.
How Hugo Ekitike scored his sensational first goal for Liverpool
Liverpool’s new striker linked up with Florian Wirtz, who also joined the club this summer. The linkup on the left down the field was beautifully made, and the German fires a pass back to Ekitike on the edge of the box.
Hugo Ekitike cuts inside beautifully at the edge of the penalty area and curls one with brilliant accuracy into the bottom far corner. Terrific finish, and Liverpool are one goal to the good. Two new signings linking up brilliantly.
Frimpong scores stunning cross-come-shot to put Liverpool ahead again
Liverpool has taken the lead once again as we approach the 20-minute mark to honor Diogo Jota. Frimpong is picked out by Szoboszlai in the right-hand space and moves toward the penalty area. Frimpong won’t care because the ball ends up in the far corner of the net after he passes Mitchell, even though it was undoubtedly intended to be a cross. That Liverpool scores a goal in minute 20 is poignant.
Another Liverpool new guy scores just as the cheers for Jota start to fade after twenty minutes. For the entire set, they only need Wirtz and Kerkez to be on the scoresheet. You wouldn’t wager against it given how the game has begun.
