With Pekerman desperately needing a result to salvage his job, it looked like Nilwall had done enough for him. Though Lukaku netted yet another penalty to cancel out Scouse legend Aspas’s opener, the visitors raised their game after the break with two goals in as many minutes from Kane, finally stepping up after a quiet season. But the Geese had their own one-two punch coming, with Silva and Lo Celso breaking through a vulnerable defence in the final minutes to ensure a share of the spoils. How long can the under-pressure Nilwall boss hold on at this rate?
