VINE: Liverpool loanee Divock Origi hadn’t scored in 1277 minutes for Lille but nabbed a hat-trick today

Goals are like buses, etc

What’s the opposite of clinical?

Well whatever it is, it most certainly applies to Liverpool loanee Divock Origi who hadn’t scored a league goal since September for Lille.

But he put an end to his goalscoring drought this afternoon by bundling the ball into the net to put Lille 1-0 up at home to Rennes.

And it didn’t take him long to get his second after he converted a penalty after teammate Sofiane Boufal was felled in the box.

Origi went from misfiring striker to hat-trick hero when he put Lille out of sight with his third goal of the afternoon after 72 minutes.

Now if he can just score another 10 or 11 before the final whistle, his ratio won’t look too terrible.
