Milos Kerkez has answered his critics on international duty. The Liverpool left-back scored in Hungary’s 1-0 Nations League victory over Georgia on Friday night, latching onto a cross from Daniel Lukacs in the 35th minute to give Marco Rossi’s side all three points in Budapest.
Kerkez’s goal came after he and Dominik Szoboszlai were booed by Northern Ireland supporters during Monday’s goalless draw. The Liverpool pair drew heavy criticism from the home crowd, with local media noting the treatment went beyond normal partisan support.
The 21-year-old marked his breakthrough with a defiant celebration, making a ‘keep talking’ gesture towards the crowd after the goal. He kept a clean sheet as Hungary held firm against Georgia and will face Ukraine in their next Nations League fixture on Monday. Liverpool are next in action on 11 October, hosting Manchester City at Anfield.
