Liverpool snapped up the highly-rated teenage winger Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea this summer and the 16-year-old made his European debut for the Reds earlier today.

With around half an hour remaining in its game against AC Milan in the UEFA Youth League, Ngumoha entered the field and replaced Kyle Kelly.

Liverpool U19s couldn't find the back of the net but a series of good saves from Kornel Misciur secured a point for Barry Lewtas' side as the match ended 0-0.

Born in 2008, Ngumoha only turned 16 a few weeks ago but has now appeared at U19 level for Liverpool in Europe.

A direct and pacy winger, Ngumoha wasn't able to help Liverpool sneak a win against AC Milan but a point away from home in Europe is not a bad start for the young Reds.

The Reds attempted to counter-attack using the pace of those out wide but couldn't secure what would have been something of a smash-and-grab victory.

The UEFA Youth League takes the same format as the Champions League this season, with one big table in the group phase.

It means we should get plenty more opportunities to see Ngumoha again as his progression continues.

Liverpool was delighted to sign one of the most highly-rated players in Europe in Ngumoha this summer, while Chelsea was furious at having lost him.

Despite claims to the contrary, it is understood that the Reds brought Ngumoha in on a contract in line with their existing wage structure — with the player and his family enticed by the clear pathway to the first team that has been established at Anfield in recent years
