Liverpool striker Origi reveals disappointment after EFL Cup win

Liverpool striker Divovk Origi admitted some disappointment after victory over EFL Cup opponents Leeds United.

Origi opened the scoring after 76 minutes, diverting home Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross from close range.

The Belgian international is yet to start a league game this season but Philippe Coutinho's injury may see him play a key role for the Reds over Christmas.

And although he is delighted at the prospect of more game time, Origi can't help but feel bad for his team-mate.

"When you can help the team it's very good," he said.

"Today we showed we have a big squad and we all want to bring something to the team.

"For me, it's disappointing because Phil Coutinho was in very big form, but when I came on the pitch I thought about doing my thing and enjoying my game.

"I hope this season will go well."
