Jacquet Scores on Liverpool Debut in Friendly Win over Como
The 21-year-old French center-back combined a debut goal with strong passing and defending after months of rehabilitation.
- On Sunday, Liverpool concluded their pre-season with a 2-0 win over Como at Anfield, as new signing Jeremy Jacquet marked his club debut with a goal and commanding defensive performance.
- The 21-year-old Frenchman finally debuted after his €60 million move from Rennes was finalized in January, having spent months in rehabilitation following a serious shoulder injury.
- Jacquet impressed during the first half, completing 27/28 passes and winning 7/10 duels, before tapping home a cross from Cody Gakpo to prompt chants from the Anfield crowd barely 15 minutes into his debut.
- Head coach Andoni Iraola paired the newcomer alongside captain Virgil van Dijk to test his go-to defensive partnership, while loan arrival Ronald Araujo replaced Jacquet at the interval.
- Having leaked nine goals in five previous friendlies, Liverpool's clean sheet provides a timely defensive boost as the Reds look to carry this stability into the Premier League season beginning next weekend.
