Liverpool fans took to Twitter to marvel over Dominic Solanke’s wonderful finish

Last night saw yet more international matches take place and The Reds had plenty of players to look out for. The likes of Andy Robertson, Roberto Firmino and Dominic Solanke were all in action last night, and it was the latter who shone the brightest. Solanke grabbed a brace as England U21s overcame their Danish counterparts 5-1, and Solanke’s second was a thing of beauty.

The Kopites took to Twitter this morning to post a full international round-up on the Liverpool website, but in truth, all you need to do is have a look at what Solanke did. After netting his first with his head just before half-time, then, the moment of the match came via the Liverpool man just two minutes into the second half when the 21-year-old stepped up to score his second and England’s third.

When Phil Foden found space outside the box he fired a shot on goal, although the Danish stopper was unable to hold it. The ball rolled out to Solanke and with his back to goal the supporters expected him to lay it off for a teammate to take the shot. Instead, Solanke went with a backheel, punching the ball into the ground and chipping it over the onrushing Danish ‘keeper. The ex-Chelsea man was off celebrating without even turning his head to see the ball go in, which is a testament to the form of the youngster at the moment.
