Aron Dønnum made his mark on the scoring list when the French team beat Liverpool in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
– It was a sick experience. This whole match and winning against Liverpool is the biggest thing I have experienced, said Dønnum to TV 2.
The Norwegian sent his Toulouse in front after 36 minutes of play at the Stade de Toulouse.
The former Vålerenga player grabbed the ball from a sleeping Kostas Tsimikas and sped towards the penalty area. Dønnum pulled himself inside and finished towards the right corner. The ball went through stopper Jamal Quansah and put goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher out of action.
Liverpool also had their chances, but the French team held on at half-time and led 1-0 over the Premier League giant.
After the break, the lead was doubled. Thijs Dalinga snuck in behind the Liverpool defence, gained control of the ball and scored to make it 2-0.
In the quarter before the end, the guests from Merseyside gained new faith in a comeback when Cristian Classers Jr. put the ball in his own net.
However, that hope was to be short-lived. Soon after, Frank Magri was in place and increased the home team’s lead again.
It didn’t help that Diogo Jota reduced the away team once again towards the end of the game. Liverpool also had a ball in the net deep into extra time, but the goal was disallowed. VAR detected a hand on Alexis MacAllister ahead of the goal.
The result was 3–2 to the hosts, which means that Liverpool are left with nine points in the group. Dønnum and Toulouse now have seven points.
