    Teenage footballer Rio Ngumoha has made Liverpool history at St James' Park

    Teenage footballer Rio Ngumoha has made Liverpool history at St James' Park

    26 August 2025
    Making his Premier League debut as a late substitute, the 16-year-old's shown composure beyond his years to score in the 10th-minute of stoppage time and seal a 3-2 win over hosts Newcastle.

    The finish made Ngumoha the youngest goal-scorer in the club's history - bettering the previous mark by 45 days.

    Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk is urging his teammate to respond in a measured way to his dream debut.



    Newcastle played the second half with 10 men after Anthony Gordon's straight red card for a dangerous tackle on the stroke of half-time.
