Hugo Ekitike has played in every single one of Liverpool’s 8 matches in all comps this season.
6 starts and he’s already bagged a very healthy 5 goals (and an assist) at a superb rate of 0.9 goals p90 and a goal involvement of every 85 minutes.
His 5 goals have come from 18 shots and 4.5 XG
But have you noticed where the goals are coming from?
He’s scored all 5 goals from 10 shots and 2.1 XG using his RIGHT foot.
With his left foot it’s 0 goals from 3 shots and 0.9 XG
With his head it’s 0 goals from 5 shots and 1.5 XG
Last season for Frankfurt, Hugo did score with his head and left foot. The breakdown of his BuLi + EL goals was:
Right 13 (68%)
Left 4 (21%)
Head 2 (11%)
His LFC goals are no more than an interesting quirk at this point but let’s see how this plays out over the coming weeks and months.
