The 19-year-old lasted just over an hour but did near-everything to a high level and in an understated manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koumas worked incredibly hard from the front, similar to Evanilson during Iraola&#8217;s time at Bournemouth, and he could be an alternative to Alexander Isak as the season picks up steam in the coming months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, the rotation indicated Liverpool may have more squad options than first realised, which can only be a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Betfred - Get \u00a350 in free bets when you bet \u00a310<\/h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Sign up at Betfred using <strong><a href=\"\/en\/go\/betfred?q=gb-all-rev-wof-s-spo\">this link<\/a><\/strong> or clicking the image below.<\/li>\r\n<li>Deposit a minimum of \u00a310 and place a bet of \u00a310+ on Sports.<\/li>\r\n<li><span id=\"0\">Receive \u00a350 in Free Bets <\/span><span id=\"1\">within 10 hours of bet settlement.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/go\/betfred?q=gb-all-rev-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1395281 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220-1024x498.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220-1024x498.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220-1536x747.png 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220-400x195.png 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220-411x200.png 411w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220-123x60.png 123w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220-150x73.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220-40x19.png 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/08\/15162343\/Screenshot-2025-08-15-162220.png 1682w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>New customers only.

He provided the lay off for Mac Allister&#8217;s goal before bending one from the left-hand side of the box in what is fast becoming his favourite finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Szoboszlai came on just past the hour and added to his catalogue of absolute screamers with a frankly ridiculous half-volley in added time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iraola will need all three to step up again on Sunday when he returns to Bournemouth for what is certain to be a very tough game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-spurs-struggles-continue-but-a-shred-of-positivity\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spurs&#8217; struggles continue but a shred of positivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three stunning goals scored by Liverpool added to the unlucky and miserable feeling around Spurs so far this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the scoreline is the only statistic that truly matters, Roberto De Zerbi&#8217;s men had the better of almost everything else in the game from shots on target to possession. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conor Gallagher&#8217;s goal was their first against a Premier League side at the fifth time of asking but their continued inability to take chances means they are out of the League Cup by mid-September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a three-week international break coming after this weekend&#8217;s action, Spurs need for a positive result cannot be understated. A clash with another side without a league win or goal in Aston Villa is arguably the game of the weekend with the loser &#8211; if there is one &#8211; facing over 20 days of contemplation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can they take positives from tonight and finally kick on?<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/europa-league\/\"><strong>Europa League predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/europa-league-winner-odds-outright\/\"><strong>Europa League outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool progressed to the fourth round of the League Cup as a rotated side saw off Tottenham 3-1 at a wet and windy Anfield.
