Ben Doak’s mesmerizing 30-minute showcase leaves Darmstadt spellbound against Liverpool (VIDEO)
Liverpool’s pre-season campaign has unearthed a rising star in the form of Ben Doak, whose exceptional potential was once again on full display during Monday night’s triumph over Darmstadt.
Entering the game as a substitute in the 60th minute, the 17-year-old phenom made an immediate impact. His prowess was evident as he completed an impressive 15 out of 16 passes, showcased his tenacity by winning five crucial duels, executed four successful dribbles, and delivered two crucial key passes, all within his electrifying half-hour performance on the field (according to Sofascore).
Doak’s breathtaking performance saw him mesmerize the opposition, the Bundesliga side, with his skillful movements. He repeatedly ventured into the penalty area, leaving Darmstadt’s defenders bewildered. One particularly dazzling sequence saw him deftly maneuver past Fabian Nurnberger and burst into the box, his shot from close range ultimately thwarted by a well-timed block.
Although Doak’s dazzling run was momentarily halted by a robust foul from a Darmstadt wing-back, who resorted to crude tactics to halt his progress, it was clear that his remarkable talent was leaving a lasting impression.
As the season approaches, Ben Doak’s star continues to rise, igniting hopes that this could be the breakthrough season that sees him make his mark at the iconic Anfield stadium.
