117 Robbie Fowler has singled out Conor Bradley for praise after his role in Liverpool’s second goal against Norwich City today.
The 20-year-old got the nod at right-back again after a couple of impressive displays against Bournemouth and Fulham over the past week.
After registering an assist away at Bournemouth last weekend, Conor Bradley helped himself to another two against the Canaries on Sunday afternoon.
The Northern Irishman’s first, he won the ball back high up the pitch before linking up with Jota down the right-hand side. Bradley then found Darwin Nunez with an inch-perfect pass across the box and the Uruguayan finished expertly.
And it’s fair to say Robbie Fowler was impressed with Bradley’s work before Nunez finished off an excellent move.
Fowler impressed with Bradley
Speaking on ITV’s coverage of the game, Fowler singled out Bradley for praise during the interval.
The former Liverpool striker was impressed with the youngster’s tenacity to win the ball back before playing forward immediately.
“The second goal, this is Conor Bradley to a tee,” Fowler said. “He’s quick to the winger, wins the ball.
“Plays a quick one-two, goes forward again and plays a lovely ball into Nunez. It was a great goal.”
Bradley has certainly caught the eye in recent days, with the youngster getting an opportunity in the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Alexander-Arnold returned to the squad today and got some minutes under his belt, with Klopp using the talented full-back in a midfield position.
It was interesting to see the Englishman play centrally while Bradley remained at right-back, something Jurgen Klopp could experiment with over the coming weeks.
Nevertheless, Liverpool managed to get the job done today thanks to goals from Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Nunez.
Norwich put in a spirited performance and even found the net on a couple of occasions. But Liverpool’s quality in the final third proved to be too much for the East Anglian outfit on the day, with Klopp’s side picking up a deserved 4-2 win.
