Liverpool have the best forward line in club football, even without Roberto Firmino, so it seems rather unfair that they should have the best supersub to dig them out of trouble on the rare occasions they need him, too.
Divock Origi, a cult hero at Anfield, does not get many chances to play for Jurgen Klopp’s side but, when he does, he has made a habit of shining as brightly as a shooting star.
Origi, the greatest supersub since David Fairclough trod the turf for Liverpool in the Seventies and Eighties, acts as the habitual understudy to Mo Salah, Sadio Mane, Firmino and Diogo Jota, but he has scored critical late goals in the Merseyside derby, Liverpool’s astonishing Champions League semi-final comeback against Barcelona and the final, against Spurs.
