Rio Ngumoha becomes Liverpool's second-youngest debutant

Rio Ngumoha today became the second-youngest debutant in Liverpool FC history.

The forward, aged 16 years and 135 days, started the Reds’ Emirates FA Cup third-round tie against Accrington Stanley at Anfield.

It was a maiden senior appearance for Ngumoha since arriving at the club in September.

Only Jerome Sinclair has debuted for Liverpool at a younger age – he was 16 years and six days old when he featured against West Bromwich Albion, in the League Cup, in September 2012.

Ngumoha is now the youngest player to have ever represented the Reds in the FA Cup, taking that record from Trey Nyoni.
