The youngster completed more dribbles (three), won the most duels (six), had the most shots on target (two) and had more touches in the opposition box (nine) than any of his team-mates. He created one chance and completed 30 of his 33 passes (91 per cent). Not bad for what was his first senior start away from Anfield.

Ngumoha became eligible to sign a professional contract when he turned 17 on 29 August and has duly committed his immediate future to the Premier League champions. Liverpool have not disclosed the length or terms of the deal but the maximum contract a 17-year-old can sign is three years. Liverpool also have a wage limit for 17-year-olds. The gifted winger joined Chelsea aged eight but left last September in the belief there was a clearer pathway to the first team at Anfield.

Real Madrid have been linked with a surprise move for the Liverpool attacker, Rio Ngumoha. The 17-year-old recently made his debut for Liverpool against Newcastle United away from home in the Premier League, and he scored the match-winning goal for his team. He is regarded as an elite talent, and Real Madrid believe that he could develop into a top-class player.

Ngumoha announced himself to Premier League audiences with a stoppage time winner against Newcastle United. The 16-year-old netted with a controlled, right-footed strike in front of the travelling Liverpool fans to clinch another late victory for the Reds.

Ahead of the match, Liverpool faced a dilemma at right back. With Jeremie Frimpong sidelined through injury and both Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez still working their way back to full fitness, Arne Slot had little choice but to deploy Dominik Szoboszlai in the role. Though the Hungarian had picked up a few reps there in preseason, it remains far from his natural position.

Rio Ngumoha, at just 16 years old, showcased exceptional talent by scoring an impressive early goal against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield, drawing attention for his performance.
