Rio Ngumoha's dancing lights up Liverpool future on dramatic day for Arsenal - Premier League hits and misses

His name is Rio and he danced past Castagne.

There has been plenty of criticism and bad feeling about where Liverpool are right now. But the future with Ngumoha is bright.

The 17-year-old is a prodigious talent and his feet were too quick for Fulham's full-back Timothy Castagne on Saturday. His shot 36 minutes in, after earning a yard of space with some trickery, was too pinpoint for Bernd Leno.

It may not have been as dramatic as his first Premier League goal, that last-gasp winner at Newcastle in August. But his second top-flight strike felt like a confirmation of his quality at this level and an indication he will be a name dominating headlines for years to come.

He is now Liverpool's youngest Premier League goalscorer at Anfield.

Perhaps fittingly, he played a part in Mo Salah scoring Liverpool's second from the other flank soon after. A passing of the baton, perhaps, on Salah's first appearance at the stadium since announcing his upcoming exit this summer.
