The only other player to achieve this specific feat is none other than Sir Kenny Dalglish, a man widely regarded as the greatest player to ever pull on the red shirt. Dalglish managed the accomplishment during his own debut season in 1977-78, following his transfer from Celtic. In that historic campaign, ‘King Kenny’ scored in the Football League, the European Cup, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the European Super Cup.
For Ekitike to be mentioned in the same breath as Dalglish is a significant confidence booster for a player who is still establishing himself in English football. While Dalglish went on to score the last goal in the European Cup final that same season, Ekitike’s spread of goals highlights his utility to Arne Slot. He has struck 12 times across 27 matches in all competitions, including eight in the Premier League.
