After Liverpool defeated Sparta Prague 5-1, their supporters made jokes about how Jamie Carragher’s own goal reminded them of Conor Bradley.
Five minutes after Alexis Mac Allister’s penalty kick opened the score, the Reds took the lead in the capital of the Czech Republic.
Before the half, Darwin Nunez increased their lead with a brace, which also happened to be Jurgen Klopp’s 1000th goal as manager of the team.In an attempt to make a change at the half, Klopp substituted Bradley for Joe Gomez.
Bradley’s introduction on Thursday proved to be less stunning than his recent great performances, as he scored an own goal within the first minute of the restart.

Despite the error, Luis Diaz gave Liverpool back their three-goal lead a few minutes later, and they soon took back control of the game.
After coming off the bench, Mo Salah appeared to have made it 5-1, but VAR disallowed his goal for being offside.
Nevertheless, Dominik Szoboszlai would score for the visitors a fifth time, late in stoppage time, to seal the victory.
