Federico Chiesa has finally opened his scoring account for Liverpool, netting his first goal since joining the Premier League giants. The former Juventus and Fiorentina player, who has struggled for game time this season—just 18 minutes in the league and one minute in the Champions League—made an impact in Liverpool’s dominant 4-0 victory over Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup third round.
Facing a fourth-tier opponent, Liverpool coach Arne Slot rotated his squad and brought Chiesa on at the start of the second half. The Reds were already leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Chiesa added the finishing touch in the 90th minute, striking from the edge of the box to beat the goalkeeper and seal the result. Earlier, Danns had extended the lead to 3-0.
Liverpool, currently sitting atop the Premier League standings, used the match to underline their strength across competitions, with Chiesa finally making his mark in red.
