Liverpool manager Slot said: "He’s not only the long-term future but also the near future. "I said one or two months ago his playing time would increase because he’s got stronger and stronger.

"He’s shown that it wasn’t only a nice trick but there was more and more end product to what he did, and more power, which is needed if you play against the best defenders in the world. "I don’t think anyone is surprised he scored his first (Anfield) goal.

"That’s what he did when he scored his goal, making the ball free by twisting and turning and then hitting it in like a Mo Salah finish. Ngumoha’s 36th-minute strike, followed by Salah’s 256th goal for the club four minutes later, rewarded Liverpool for a dominant first half.
