Liverpool loanee scores critical goal for Schalke in first game after six-month injury LFC
found themselves 1-0 down after conceding early, and with the two sides above them both avoiding defeat, things were looking bleak.
However, manager Thomas Reis took a slightly bizarre roll of the dice with 13 minutes to play, bringing on Liverpool’s Van den Berg with his team in desperate need of a goal.The 21-year-old had only previously scored professionally in the second tier while on loan at Preston, but you wouldn’t have known as he rushed towards a clearance on the edge of the box.
Swinging his left foot at the ball, it hit the back of the net, and the lofty 6ft 4in defender reeled off in wild celebration. Things got even better in stoppage time too, with Uruguayan Rodrigo Zalazar picking out Dominick Drexler with a sublime pass to win the match in stoppage time. The three points provided a huge lifeline to the German giants, who could now manage to stave off a relegation that previously looked inevitable.
