Hugo Ekitike chasing a rare Liverpool goal record ​

Hugo Ekitike is heading into Liverpool’s clash with Tottenham in outstanding form and on the verge of joining a very exclusive club in the Reds’ history.

When Liverpool visit Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening, the French forward has the chance to match a Premier League goalscoring feat only Luis Suarez has managed for the club.

Ekitike has hit four goals in his last two league games, scoring back‑to‑back braces against Leeds United and Brighton. If he delivers another multi‑goal performance in north London, he will become just the second Liverpool player ever to score at least twice in three consecutive Premier League matches, after Suarez’s remarkable run of four straight braces in December 2013.

Across all competitions this season, Ekitike has made 21 appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing 1 assist, underlining how quickly he has settled at Anfield. His clinical finishing has turned him into one of Liverpool’s main attacking threats and added extra intrigue to a high‑profile meeting with Spurs, where he now has the opportunity to write his name alongside one of the club’s modern greats.
