Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has described Reds youngster Rio Ngumoha’s performance against Fulham as unbelievable.
The 17-year-old broke the deadlock after a tightly contested first-half, beating Timothy Castagne before curling a smart finish beyond the outstretched hand of Bernd Leno.
Mohamed Salah added a second just four minutes later.

Reacting to his performance, Robertson, in a chat with Sky Sports, hailed Ngumoha as an ‘unbelievable’ talent after he scored Liverpool’s first goal in a 2-0 win over Fulham.
“He’s unbelievable. It just shows you sometimes don’t listen to the experienced players, I was screaming at him to say that I’m coming on the overlap,” Robertson said.
“Then he just goes and cuts inside, it’s a great finish, great performance by him. He just keeps learning and listening, he’s such a good kid. Him and Trey (Nyoni) are a pleasure to work with and they listen to all the lads.
“You can just see them improving all the time. He’s got a big future ahead of him, but here and now is pretty good as well.”

Nigeria how e be na?
If we had a good NFF, we suppose dey on this guy’s case, before he attracts English attention.
With his recent performances, I hope it’s not too late already.
If the NFF knows what they are doing, we may have just found Moses Simon’s replacement.
Simon has done well for Nigeria. But it’s time for new blood. His recent performances suggests he’s past his sell by date. Organize a testimonial game for him.and bid him farewell.
