Ibrahima Konate showed off his magnificent ball control with an eye-catching juggling act in the opening exchanges of Liverpool’s Premier League clash against Leeds tonight.
Starting for the seventh successive top-flight match, the French defender produced a moment which bamboozled the home side during the first few minutes at Elland Road.
After winning a 50-50 duel against Rodrigo, the 23-year-old kept the ball off the ground and, as he was closed down by another Whites player, the Reds centre-back casually lofted it over his onrushing opponent and then nodded it gently towards Diogo Jota.
Konate has been a no-nonsense destroyer of opposition attacks all season, but he lit up the early exchanges against Leeds with that sizzling display of ball control.
