Rio Ngumoha wrote his name into the record books on Monday night after scoring on his Premier League debut for Liverpool.
The 16-year-old netted a dramatic winner deep into stoppage time against Newcastle, securing a 3-2 win for the Premier League champions at St James’ Park.
Ngumoha has become Liverpool’s youngest-ever Premier League goalscorer and only the fourth u-17 player to net in the division.

After impressing during the club’s pre-season tour, the winger has now shown he has the quality and mentality to make a first-team impact. Introduced with just minutes to go, he slammed home from Mohamed Salah’s centre to seal all three points for the Reds.
It’s just the second time a 16-year-old has scored a winning goal in the Premier League , after Wayne Rooney’s famous effort for Everton against Arsenal in 2002.
