Loan Watch: Ronald Araujo scores first Liverpool goal in Champions League tie

Barcelona loanee Ronald Araujo struck his first Liverpool goal on Wednesday in the Champions League clash at LASK.

The defender was named in the starting XI again and opened the scoring for the Reds midway through the first half with a powerful header from a corner swung in from the left.

The goal put Liverpool on the front front and they quickly added to their advantage. Bradley Barcola netted his first goal for the club two minutes later and then grabbed a second before half-time to make it 3-0.

Araujo is certainly enjoying life at Anfield following his summer switch. The Uruguay international has featured in both of Liverpool’s Champions League matches so far and also played six times in the Premier League.

The defender has played at both center-back and right-back for Andoni Iraola’s side and will hope he can continue playing regularly for the Reds throughout the rest of the campaign.
