Who is Liverpool match-winner Rio Ngumoha?

Sixteen-year-old Rio Ngumoha became the fourth youngest scorer in Premier League history when he fired home Liverpool's winning goal in their 3-2 victory at Newcastle on Monday night.

Reds boss Arne Slot turned to the teenager in the 96th minute, throwing on a player who will turn 17 on Friday after the 10 men of Newcastle scored an unlikely equaliser in stoppage time after being two goals down.

Mohamed Salah slid a low ball across the box in the final stages for Dominik Szoboszlai to step over and leave to Ngumoha to expertly finish on his Premier League debut.
