Liverpool U21 : le jeune défenseur Mor Talla Ndiaye utilisé en gardien de but !
Young Senegalese defender Mor Talla Ndiaye experienced a rather unusual situation with Liverpool's U21s. Facing Everton on Friday, during the first matchday of Premier League 2, the 18-year-old was forced to abandon his central defender position and don the goalkeeper's gloves.
The match between the two Merseyside sides ended in a 1-1 draw, but it will be particularly memorable for Mor Talla Ndiaye. After participating in several preseason friendlies with the Reds this summer, the former U17 international rejoined the U21 squad for the start of the league season.
As Liverpool tried to hold onto their lead, goalkeeper Harvey Davies was sent off in the 87th minute. This presented a problem for manager Robert Page: all four permitted substitutions had already been made. A makeshift solution had to be found to finish the match.
Ultimately, Mor Talla Ndiaye was chosen to take his place in goal. The Senegalese defender quickly had to adapt to the role of goalkeeper and even distinguished himself in the final seconds of the game by making a save.
