Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah has been hailed after playing a big role in Sunday’s 2-0 FA Cup win over Arsenal.
The Reds headed down to North London in search of a passage into the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Liverpool had to withstand major Arsenal pressure but somehow managed to escape going a goal down in the first half.
Jurgen Klopp’s men then provided the sucker punch as Jakub Kiwior headed Trent Alexander-Arnold’s free-kick into his own net.
Luis Diaz sealed the win for Liverpool, smashing high into the net to send the Reds through and leave Arsenal with a third defeat in a row in all competitions.
Jarell Quansah praised after Liverpool win
Klopp will be delighted to be through to the next round, but especially having been without defender Virgil van Dijk.
The Dutchman was out through illness, leaving Liverpool without their star defensive leader.
That meant 20-year-old Jarell Quansah came in to partner Ibrahima Konate at the back and they were bombarded by the Arsenal attack early on.
Quansah and Konate stood strong to eventually claim a clean sheet and help Liverpool through a difficult FA Cup tie.
Quansah took to Instagram to celebrate a ‘big win’ with teammates responding by praising the centre back.
Van Dijk himself was impressed, responding with a flame emo whilst goalscorer Diaz applauded Quansah for his display.
Reds youngster James Balagizi called Quansah ‘unreal’ whilst Harvey Elliott branded him a ‘gazelle’.
Luke Chambers hailed Quansah as ‘unplayable’ with Conor Bradley, Ben Doak, Cody Gakpo, Bobby Clark, Calum Scanlon and Ryan Gravenberch joining in.
Quansah spent the second half of last season on loan at Bristol Rovers but is now shining for the Liverpool first team – and the sky seems to be the limit for him.
