Jamie Carragher has labelled Hugo Ekitiké a “better player” than iconic former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres after the Frenchman scored twice in Saturday’s 4–1 win over Newcastle United.
Two goals in as many minutes from Ekitiké set Liverpool on their way to a much-needed victory and drew comparisons with former Reds striker Torres, who made a similarly scintillating start to life on Merseyside when he signed way back in 2007.
