Jamie Carragher likened the performance of one Liverpool player against Aston Villa to Cristiano Ronaldo’s style on Monday night.
Liverpool’s clash with Aston Villa was a thrilling spectacle, filled with excitement and drama. Despite Liverpool initially dominating with a convincing lead, Villa managed to claw their way back into contention.
Aside from the six goals scored, the match also featured numerous VAR interventions, adding to the suspense for viewers. Ultimately, the draw seemed like a fair outcome given the intensity of the game.
Villa showcased resilience as they fought back from a two-goal deficit, displaying commendable determination to salvage a point.
In contrast, Liverpool appeared unsettled and disorganised following several changes made by Jurgen Klopp.
Jamie Carragher on How Jarell Quansah Reminded Him of Cristiano Ronaldo
Jarell Quansah showcased his prowess despite Liverpool’s setback against Villa. The centre-back has consistently impressed this season, and his performance in the recent game was no exception.
Although Liverpool conceded three goals, Quansah remained solid throughout. None of the goals can be solely attributed to him, and he even managed to score a goal himself.
This marked Quansah’s first Premier League goal and his fifth overall contribution to Liverpool’s season. Remarkably, he trails only Virgil van Dijk, with six contributions, among Liverpool’s current center-backs.
Jamie Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, lauded Quansah’s talent, drawing parallels between his goal and Cristiano Ronaldo’s prowess.
“This header is absolutely out of this world,” Carragher said.
“He is trying to hold his run because of the offside trap but he gets up so high and he’s actually ahead of the ball.
“His body position when the ball is in the air, it reminds me a little bit, I’ve seen Ronaldo score these type of headers where he gets up so early and he’s almost in the air waiting for the ball and as it comes across, I mean look how high his knees are off the ground.”
