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.”
