Neco Williams: My dream came true... but nothing has changed
In the 95th minute of last month’s Carabao Cup tie with Arsenal at Anfield, the right-back found himself ignoring the onset of cramp to celebrate in front of a jubilant Kop.
Seconds earlier, the 18-year-old had exhibited his game intelligence to find a pocket of space on the right touchline and pick out a teammate in the middle.
Divock Origi’s volleyed finish from Williams’ industrious cross was the 10th goal of that thrilling night and the precursor for a penalty shootout that the Reds would win 5-4 to progress to the quarter-finals.
“I turned straight to the Kop and I was trying to soak it all in, all the atmosphere,” recalls Williams on the latest episode of LFCTV’s The Academy.
