Liverpool: Diogo Jota had some kind words for Rio Ngumoha after the teenager’s debut in the FA Cup against Accrington Stanley. At just 16 years old, Ngumoha made history as the youngest player to start for Liverpool, and he really showed his skills on the left wing during the 4-0 win.

He was a real threat, attempting seven dribbles, which was more than anyone else on the field. Accrington was clearly worried about him, as they often doubled up to try and stop him. Jota mentioned how impressive it was for such a young player to handle the pressure of his first game.

After the match, Jota said he hopes Ngumoha enjoyed the experience and believes he will only get better from here. Other teammates also praised Ngumoha, with Arne Slot noting that he displayed the same talent in the game as he does in training.

Jota himself got the scoring started with a goal in the first half, marking his return to form after dealing with injuries. He expressed how good it felt to play a full match again and to contribute to the team’s success. Overall, it was a memorable day for both Jota and Ngumoha, and fans are excited to see what the future holds for the young star.
