Liverpool's new signing is a foolish striker who celebrated a simple goal by taking off his shirt, receiving two yellow cards that turned into a red, leaving his teammates stunned.

At 3 AM on September 24th, during the third round of the English League Cup, Liverpool played Southampton at home. The entire Liverpool squad lacked intensity, yet substitute Chiesa sprinted all over the field, delivering two assists. Liverpool’s two new forwards found the net—Isak scored his debut goal for Liverpool, and Ekitik secured the match-winning strike. Liverpool clearly thrives on last-minute winners, but after Ekitik scored an easy winner, the French striker’s actions left the whole team in disbelief.

After scoring, Ekitik was extremely excited and celebrated by taking off his shirt, raising it high like Messi, looking very proud. Having already received one yellow card in the match, his shirt removal earned him a second yellow, which turned into a red card, forcing Liverpool to play with one less player and causing him to miss the next game. Another Liverpool newcomer, Frimpong, looked at Ekitik with a dumbfounded expression, clearly wondering what was going through his mind.

After the game, fans debated: Chiesa was everywhere on the pitch and deserved MVP; they suggested Klopp should replace Gakpo, who only cuts inside, with Chiesa as the starting left winger. After scoring, Ekitik immediately checked out, signaling he might not want to play the next match. Is the away game at Crystal Palace too tough for him?
