Slot hails Liverpool record breaker following ‘special’ FA Cup debut

Arne Slot praised Rio Ngumoha after the teenager became the youngest Liverpool player to ever start an FA Cup match. 

The 16-year-old played 72 minutes for the Reds during their 4-0 win over Accrington Stanley in the third round match at Anfield.

“He did well,” the Liverpool boss told ITV after the full-time whistle. “There were a few moments where the fans could see why we think he’s a talent. He is good in one-v-one situations.

“He showed a bit more in the first half than in the second half. It is nice to get your debut and get the win. It is a special day for him.”
