Teenager Ngumoha scores as Liverpool beat Fulham
The strains of Duran Duran's 80s hit 'Rio' swept around Anfield after the pressure and scrutiny that has been closing in on head coach Arne Slot and Liverpool was relieved - for now - by victory against Fulham.
It was played in celebration of the brilliance of Rio Ngumoha.
He was born 26 years after the song was released – but on this day it was a timely soundtrack of celebration after the 17-year-old delivered an electrifying performance to lift the mood of discontent hanging over Liverpool.
Ngumoha not only answered their call for inspiration in these troubled times with a goal and a starring role in this 2-0 win against Fulham that kept Liverpool fifth in the Premier League - he also gave Slot a dilemma.
