Liverpool and Villarreal played out an entertaining first half of UEFA Champions League football that ended 2-2 at Anfield.
After Georges Mikautadze and Sergi Cardona put the visitors 2-0 up, the Reds struck back through Alexis Mac Allister and Ronald Araujo to restore parity.
Araujo scored his second goal of the season right at the stroke of halftime as he guided a close-range header home after a fantastic cross from Rio Ngumoha.
And Stephen Warnock feels the Uruguayan international is exactly the kind of player every manager loves as he works his socks off for his team.
Stephen Warnock lauds Liverpool loanee Ronald Araujo
“Ronald Araujo is one of those players you absolutely need in your team,” said Warnock via the BBC.
“He’s someone who will put his body on the line, someone who plays with passion, someone who is a leader.”
Araujo played quite well at right back as he showed his experience defensively and scored an important equaliser.
Strangely, he was subbed at the interval, with Ryan Gravenberch slotting in at right-back, but he made a defining contribution with what was his last kick of the game.
And his celebration didn’t go unnoticed either as he jumped over the advertisement boards to celebrate with the Anfield faithful.
