(Video) GOAL!!- Watch Diogo Jota scores two beautiful goals in stoppage time to give Liverpool the lead vs Karlsruher
In Liverpool’s 4-2 victory over Karlsruher, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister made their debuts, but the goals were scored by Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo before Diogo Jota scored the first of his two stoppage-time goals in Germany to win the game.
After beating Karlsruher, Diogo Jota joins his Liverpool teammates in a victory celebration.
Liverpool overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat Karlsruher 4-2 thanks to two late goals from substitute Diogo Jota for Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Darwin Nunez had put Liverpool ahead inside three minutes but goals either side of half-time by Lars Stindl and Sebastian Jung put the second-tier German side ahead in their new stadium. But Gakpo’s deserved equaliser preceded late drama as Jota won it late.
There were debuts for summer signings Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister – the two midfielders playing a half each – but there was no sign of Jordan Henderson. The Liverpool captain is set to move to Saudi Arabia to play under Steven Gerrard at Al Ettifaq.
