The former Chelsea academy talent instantly made his mark after his high-profile switch with his dramatic late winner against Newcastle United.

Teenage star Ngumoha struck the crucial goal at St James' Park for Arne Slot's team as a 16-year-old, just days ahead of his birthday, ensuring the Premier League leaders maintained their momentum in the campaign's early stages.

Following his milestone strike, the forward emphasised his determination to capitalise on the chance given to him by the Dutch manager.

"Normally, last season especially, the academy coaches and even the first-team coaches are always saying, 'Make the back post, make the back post'," Ngumoha said.

"The fact that I made the back post is just crazy..

The fans, I heard them screaming my name and that's a sensational moment I would say.

"But you can't get too carried away with all the noise, like I said, because at the end of the day I probably do that finish 100 times on the training ground so it's no different with the fans [here]

But obviously the fans backing you there, it's just crazy.

"I'm 16 but I don't want my age to show that I can't play with the older players

I want to prove a point that I can play with not just people my age but many ages above.

"But like I said, there are people at the club who are always helping me and I'm always learning and improving, so I can't complain."
