Liverpool loanee lashes home as Belgians burn Iceland

Divock Origi is the Reds' hottest striker this season

Patrick McCarry

Liverpool have already been in polite touch with Lille this season to ask if Divock Origi might be interested in joining the club sooner than planned.

The query was met with a firm no by the French club but Brendan Rodsgers may be tempted to pick up the phone again. Origi signed for Liverpool for £10m in July but is not set to arrive at Anfield until next season.

The 19-year-old striker scored his third international goal (and sixth over the season for club and country) as the Belgians beat Iceland 3-1.

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku added Belgium’s third to settle the match at Koning Boudewijn Stadion.
