Andy Robertson and Darwin Nunez reaction to Ibrahima Konate's goal leads to Jamie Carragher joke
The high spirits in the Liverpool squad were evident on the sideline last night as Darwin Nunez and Andy Robertson celebrated Ibrahima Konate's goal against AC Milan.
Liverpool fell behind to a Christian Pulisic strike but bounced back with three goals without reply to record a 3-1 victory in what, on paper, should have been one of their toughest games in the new league phase.
TV cameras captured substitutes Nunez and Robertson's reaction as they watched Konate head home in the first half, as the pair high-fived and laughed hysterically following the goal, perhaps suggesting that one of them had predicted just seconds earlier that Liverpool would score from the corner.
"Look at the reaction of these two... they might have had a bet on?" Jamie Carragher joked as the clip was replayed by CBS Sports. "Are you allowed? Obviously not..."
It looked as though Liverpool was in for a tough night when Pulisic gave the hosts the lead in the third minute, but the Reds didn't panic and recorded a result that was thoroughly deserved.
Praising his side for bouncing back, Arne Slot said during his post-match press conference: "In the first five minutes we also lost the ball from two choices that were not the best to make and then they could counter-attack us.
"Afterwards we dominated possession even more and that didn't lead to counter-attacks from them. Although it sounds weird to say that we started well if you concede two chances, but we took control of the ball from the start of the game. Except from the first five minutes where they had two counter-attacks, I think we dominated possession and created chances as well."
