Once again, Divock Origi stepped up and delivered a crucial goal for Liverpool, just like he did in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
The Belgian striker sealed the deal for Liverpool with a left-footed shot in the dying minutes of the UCL final against Tottenham, and he also managed to set a personal milestone while at it.
Origi sent the ball to the back of the net with his first shot of the evening, making it the third consecutive time in which he scored in a UEFA Champions League.

Furthermore, Origi joined one of his compatriots as the lucky scorers in a match of this sort.

Origi may have had a disappointing season in the Premier League, but not so much in the European competition.
Divock Origi has now scored as many Champions League goals this season as he has Premier League goals.
