Ngumoha, born in England to Nigerian parents, scored a sensational late winner against Newcastle United, solidifying his place in the Premier League champion's history books.

The 17-year-old forward came off the bench in the 94th minute to secure the victory for Liverpool. Despite having represented England at youth levels, Ngumoha can now choose to play for Nigeria.
