‘Chelsea were angry to lose him’ – who is Liverpool’s Ngumoha?

In the sixth minute of stoppage time, Reds manager Arne Slot turned to the youngster and threw a player who will turn 17 on Friday during the final dice roll.

The 10 Newcastle men were 2-0 up, but their passionate supporters roared back and even seemed to have the momentum.

Dominik Szoboszlai crossed the final whistle for Mohamed Salah to finish his Premier League debut with a low ball that Mohamed Salah slid across the box in the final seconds.

Ngumoha became the youngest goalscorer in Liverpool’s history with the 100th minute of a magical moment, becoming only the second 16-year-old to net a winner in a Premier League game.

the first ? Wayne Rooney scored the winning goal against Arsenal in 2002 as an Everton player.

After scoring the winning goal, the England Under-17 forward was mobbed by his team-mates and shoved in front of Tyneside’s traveling supporters to savor the cheer.

Given his impressive pre-season performances, which included two goals and two assists, Ngumoha may not come as a surprise to Liverpool fans to see him shine on the biggest stage.

Thierry Henry, a former Premier League player and Arsenal player, claimed that Ngumoha had had a significant career turning point.

Henry responded, “He announced himself.” With the way he finished, “He looked like a player who had been playing for a very long time.”

Ngumoha did not attend Liverpool’s academy, but he only joined the club last summer from Chelsea’s youth team, and neither club has confirmed the fee or whether the matter was filed with the tribunal.

John Terry, a legend of the Blues, once said, “This boy is and will be a top player.”

Virgil van Dijk, the captain of Liverpool, cautioned his teenage team-mate against taking personal attention for granted.

Van Dijk stated to Sky Sports, “It’s a dream debut for him.” “I’m very happy for Rio,” he said.

It all begins now, I’ve already said it to him. You can’t take them for granted these nights if you’re in his shoes, but he has to keep working hard and remain modest.

“I’m confident that with the players we have, he’ll return to training and have a difficult session tomorrow.”

Slot, the manager of Liverpool, praised Ngumoha’s ability to finish the ball, saying: “It was a great goal for a 16-year-old.

Rio is so talented for his level. He would have needed a first touch, as I once heard someone say in the dressing room, but he is so confident. He is a very good finisher for his age.

In the pre-season, Ngumoha made Liverpool fans unsure if he could start playing for the first team this year.

He faced Athletic Bilbao on the left wing in a pre-season friendly, and like he has done all summer, he caught the eye.

In the second minute, the teenager ran onto a loose ball in his own half before hurling a fine effort in from 20 yards.

With his trickery and dribbling, he caused all sorts of problems for the La Liga side.

Midway through the second half, the 16-year-old paused for a standing ovation.

In Asian friendlies, Ngumoha scored in both a goal and an assist against AC Milan and a goal against Yokohama F. Marinos.

Ngumoha, who was 16 years and 135 days old when Liverpool beat Accrington in the FA Cup 4-0 win, became the youngest player to start a game for the club in January.

He made his only Premier League start since the season opener against Bournemouth, and that was his only other start.

Salh, Hugo Ekitike, and Cody Gakpo make up the senior forward line following Diogo Jota’s tragic passing and the sale of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz.

Everyone at Chelsea’s Cobham training facility was aware of Ngumoha’s uniqueness.

In spite of numerous contract offers from the west Londoners, he left for Liverpool with a lot of anger.

The resentment reached such a high level that Chelsea allegedly forbade Liverpool’s youth scouts from playing in their academy.
