Hugo Ekitike Hugo Ekitike says Liverpool need to work smarter, not harder, as the Reds' dismal campaign shows no sign of getting any better. The French forward's brace at Leeds United looked to have set his side on the way to three points, only for a collapse ignited by Ibrahima Konate's concession of a penalty to bring the hosts level. Dominik Szoboszlai then looked to have won it for Arne Slot's beleaguered champions, but Ao Tanaka struck six minutes into stoppage time a
