Liverpool's teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha impressed again as Liverpool beat Athletic Club 4-1 in the first of two back-to-back friendlies at Anfield.

The 16-year-old was rightfully rewarded for his stunning solo goal against Yokohama Marinos in the previous fixture and added to his summer tally within just two minutes, curling his effort into the bottom right corner after driving at the defence.

Liverpool doubled their lead three minutes later and Ngumoha was at the heart of it again.

The winger latched onto Ben Doak's cross into the box before teeing up Darwin Nunez, who started the game amid transfer links to AC Milan, and was given a warm reception from the home crowd after sweeping the ball into the back of the net.

Doak played a hand in the second and stepped up his threat in the final third just before the break.

Ngumoha shining in pre-season...

Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha has scored two goals and provided two assists across his four appearances in pre-season.

The 19-year-old, situated on the opposite flank to Ngumoha, saw a stunning long-range effort denied by Alex Padilla, who was left red-faced moments later after bundling Doak's cross into the back of his own net from a tight angle.

A mistimed clearance from Luca Stephenson did gift Gorka Guruzeta the opportunity to guide his own header in from close range but the effort proved to just be a consolation goal during the 4-1 defeat on Merseyside.
