The No.22 was satisfied to have made another significant contribution for the champions.
“It’s really good,” he said. “I want to score every game, if you ask me. The last game I didn’t score but I always try to find a way to make the difference.
“It can be a goal, an assist, a run to create space for another player. It’s good.
“At the end, the most important [thing] is the team and it’s the three points today.”
His early-season form has quickly endeared Ekitike to the Anfield faithful and his own fan chant rang out multiple times again during the derby.
Indeed, the France international was basking in the support after the final whistle as he showed his appreciation to Kopites.
“It’s top, honestly I really like it. I said, every time I want it more loud,” said the forward. “So, I will try to keep scoring for the fans.”
For Liverpool collectively, it is now five wins out of five in the Premier League alongside the 3-2 defeat of Atletico Madrid in midweek to begin the Champions League.
But Ekitike is not getting carried away, with so much football ahead in the campaign.
He added: “Football is moments, we can be happy today until tomorrow and when we wake up we have to go again.
“We have on Tuesday a cup game and we just have to focus and keep going. Our schedule is busy, we just have games and we have to reach goals all the time.”
