This morning, in the opening game of the 25-26 Premier League season, Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4-2 at home. When commenting on this game, Gary Neville praised Ekitic, who made a contribution to the Reds' pass and shot today.

About Ekitic's goal

Neville: "This is a wonderful moment. Ekitic just took advantage of that little refraction. He reminded me of Louis Suarez. When you take the initiative and drive the ball toward the opponent, you should get such a little bit of luck. Ekitic's performance at that time was like this."

About Ekitic's goal scored by Gakebo: "I agree He handled Ekitic's second goal at Liverpool, steadily protecting the ball and then passing it lightly. Ekitic has shown that he can both retreat and score and score; he can break through and create opportunities for his teammates. Ekitic looks like a real genius, and we all think Isaac may join Liverpool in the next few weeks, but at the forward position, Ekitic and Isaac can form a real competition."
