Virgil van Dijk described Liverpool Rio Ngumoha's first Premier League appearance as a "dream debut" after the teenager's dramatic late winner at Newcastle United on Monday. 

The 16-year-old came off the bench to score deep into stoppage time in Monday's Premier League encounter at St. James' Park as the champions snatched a 3-2 victory after 10-man Newcastle had battled back from 2-0 down

For a 16-year-old, it was a wonderful goal, said Arne Slot, the head coach of Liverpool. It was a great chance. Considering his age, he can finish quite well. 

You don't see this very frequently, but his shot was really firm. "He is so confident and for him to score is not completely a coincidence, for his age he is a really good finisher.

Hugo Ekitike and Ryan Gravenberch both scored goals after Anthony Gordon was sent off, putting Liverpool in a dominant position, yet they were second best for many stretches of the match.
