Liverpool teenager Rio Ngumoha may have been the hero with a late winner against Newcastle, but the 16-year-old wasn't exempt from completing extra running drills.
When Ngumoha entered the game, Liverpool was oddly pinned back by the 10-man Magpies, and even a draw was beginning to feel like a decent outcome.
Ngumoha celebrates scoring the winner against Newcastle.
"I'm sure with the players we have, he'll be back at training tomorrow having a hard session."
Liverpool.com says: At just 16, Rio Ngumoha already looks like a player built for the big stage
Against Newcastle, he didn’t play like a teenager making his mark — he played like someone who belonged
The fact that Arne Slot demanded extra running from him moments after the winner only underlines how Liverpool sees his future: talent is the foundation, but discipline and hard work will shape him into the complete player.
