Liverpool's Merseyside derby hero Divock Origi admits his added-time winner was one of the most crucial he has scored for the club. The Belgium international, making his first appearance at Anfield since May 2017 after spending last season on loan at Wolfsburg, capitalised on Jordan Pickford's error to nod home from close range for a 1-0 victory. It was his 22nd goal in 79 matches for the club but was so important in ensuring EPL leaders Manchester City's advantage was kept at just two points.

"It was a crucial goal, one of the most crucial I have scored for Liverpool so it was special," said Origi, 23, who has scored in three of his last four derbies. "You could see the emotion of the fans and the coach and the players so we celebrated all together. It was special. Always [in] a derby it is a good feeling to win, especially to keep our stride going and to score the goal is special."
