Liverpool fans will appreciate what Paul Scholes had to say about Lewis Koumas despite Man City loss

In the end, Liverpool’s much-anticipated home clash against Manchester City didn’t live up to expectations, given the build-up following the opposition’s guilty verdict. Paul Scholes hit the nail on the head: Ryan Gravenberch’s sending-off ‘changed’ the game, as even he was spitting at why every challenge is a yellow card.

Nonetheless, with Andoni Iraola having to deal with injuries to his forward line, including Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo going down during the international break, it meant that Lewis Koumas started up front for the first time in a Premier League game.

Scholes told The Good, The Bad, and The Football that Koumas impressed him against Enzo Maresca’s side, and that he was a ‘real handful’ during his 75 minutes on the pitch.
