Neco Williams on Preston win, goalline clearance, assist and more

Neco Williams was delighted to play a major role in Liverpool’s Carabao Cup win over Preston North End while making his first start of the season.

The Reds advanced to the quarter-finals of the competition with a 2-0 victory on Wednesday night, with second-half goals by Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi the difference at Deepdale.

Full-back Williams impressed throughout as he got his first 90 minutes of the campaign under his belt following injury.

The Wales international produced a superb goalline clearance in the first half and then provided the assist for Minamino’s predatory opener before also being involved in the build-up to Origi’s outrageous, improvised second.
