Overview

• On his Premier League debut, the winger struck in the 100th minute to seal a 3-2 win at St James’ Park, becoming the fourth‑youngest scorer in league history.
• Liverpool coaches had drilled him to attack the back post, a focus credited by Barry Lewtas for the decisive run and finish after a Dominik Szoboszlai dummy.
• He cannot sign a first professional contract until Friday, when he turns 17 under English registration rules.
• Chelsea, who developed him from age eight before his move last summer, are due compensation that is expected to be set by a Professional Football Compensation Committee, with a hearing reported as possible before the end of September.
• Former Liverpool great John Barnes urged patience with the teenager’s integration, praising the club’s environment to let him “grow slowly.”
