Lewis Koumas will never forget the night of 28 February 2024, not only making his senior Liverpool debut in the FA Cup tie against Southampton but also marking it with a goal.
The visitors had the better of proceedings for much of the first half against a mix-and-match Reds line-up, but it was the home side who broke the deadlock shortly before half-time.
The 18-year-old started the move which culminated in his fairytale moment, playing a clever exchange with Bobby Clark before shooting from just outside the penalty area.
While a deflection from a Southampton player may have helped, there’s no way anyone is taking that goal off Koumas, who’s had the Liverpool debut of his dreams tonight.
