The goal put Liverpool on the front front and they quickly added to their advantage. Bradley Barcola netted his first goal for the club two minutes later and then grabbed a second before half-time to make it 3-0.
Araujo is certainly enjoying life at Anfield following his summer switch. The Uruguay international has featured in both of Liverpool’s Champions League matches so far and also played six times in the Premier League.
The defender has played at both center-back and right-back for Andoni Iraola’s side and will hope he can continue playing regularly for the Reds throughout the rest of the campaign.
