Liverpool fans say the same thing about Divock Origi after goal against Preston North End

Divock Origi was on the scoresheet as Liverpool beat Preston North End 2-0 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

The score was 0-0 at half-time and the hosts had the better chances before Takumi Minamino opened the scoring on 62 minutes.

Origi then sealed the win with a flick over Preston goalkeeper Declan Rudd.

It was an acrobatic finish that certainly caught the attention of Liverpool fans on social media.

IAN DOYLE: 'If Atletico win was dirty for Liverpool then victory over Preston was disgusting'

RATINGS: Minamino and Adrian impress in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Preston

PAUL GORST: 'Liverpool can now embrace the feel-good factor of the Carabao Cup'

Origi has now scored two goals this season, both in the Carabao Cup. His last came against Norwich last month.

Supporters noticed the striker only scored 'crazy goals', referencing his goal against Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2018/19.

Another notable finish was against Everton in the Merseyside derby at Anfield that same season.

Origi's goal against Preston came after the ball bounced back into play off the crossbar and Neco William's effort was deflected into the path of the 26-year-old, who flicked it over his head and into the back of the net.

Origi now has 11 goals in 15 games in the Carabao Cup for Liverpool.

The Reds progress to the fifth round of the competition with the draw taking place on Saturday morning.

Manchester City have been knocked out by Premier League side West Ham and Leicester City, Tottenham, Brentford, Sunderland, Arsenal and Chelsea make up the reaming teams.
