Dutch-Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong scores stunning goal on Liverpool debut

Dutch international of Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong made an outstanding debut for Premier League giants Liverpool, scoring a stunning goal against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield.

Despite missing out on the trophy, Frimpong, who was brought in as a replacement for Alexander Arnold produced an impressive performance for the Reds.

Hugo Ekitike found the net with a precise strike after an assist from Florian Wirtz, just four minutes into the match.

However, Crystal Palace responded swiftly, leveling the score as Jean-Philippe Mateta confidently converted a penalty awarded for a Van Dijk foul.

In the 21st-minute, Frimpong rose to the occasion for Liverpool, scoring a brilliant goal to put his side in front again. He received the ball on the right wing, beat his defender, and delivered a sublime chip over Henderson.

After the halftime break, Crystal Palace pulled parity through Senegal international Ismaila Sarr as the game ended in a stalemate in regular time.

However, it was Crystal Palace, who prevailed in the penalty shootout, defeating Liverpool 3-2 to lift the trophy.
