Federico Chiesa may still be adjusting to life under Arne Slot at Liverpool, but he has already accomplished something remarkable—a record that hasn’t been matched since 1906. Despite not necessarily hitting the milestone he expected in his first season, Chiesa has won all eight of his appearances for the club, a feat not achieved since George Latham in 1906, as noted by Opta’s Michael Reid.
Chiesa, who arrived in the summer for ÂŁ12.5 million, has seen his playing time increase recently as he regains full fitness. His recent appearances include his first goal for Liverpool in the 4-0 FA Cup win over Accrington Stanley, as well as substitute roles in matches against Brentford, Lille, and Ipswich. The 25-year-old is nearing his first start under Slot, with the Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday or the FA Cup tie against Plymouth on February 9 being potential opportunities.
Alongside Chiesa, Jayden Danns also achieved the same record, coming off the bench in Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Ipswich. While the unbeaten streak is an interesting trivia point, Chiesa is more focused on continuing his integration into the team and contributing more consistently going forward.
For Chiesa, the hope is that this early success signals the beginning of a long and prosperous career at Anfield, unlike Latham, who left Liverpool after a difficult run despite his strong start.
