Al-Ettifaq head coach Steven Gerrard saw his new club complete a rousing second-half fightback against Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League with some familiar faces on show
A host of familiar faces from the Premier League locked horns for the first time in the Middle East as Al-Ettifaq hosted Al-Nassr on Monday night.
The hosts, managed by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, boasted Jordan Henderson in their starting line-up following his blockbuster transfer from Anfield last month, while former Anfield favourite Sadio Mane led the line for Al-Nassr at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium.
It was Mane who broke the deadlock after just four minutes to nudge Al-Nassr into an early lead, but Robin Quaison restored parity early in the second-half. And the turnaround was complete in the 53rd minute as Moussa Dembele scored what proved to be the winner.
