New Liverpool youth striker Joe Hardy, signed from Brentford this month, has hit the ground running in the famous red shirt.
In just his second start for the Reds’ U23 side, he’s bagged a brace in an impressive 5-0 hammering of Southampton in the PL2.
There hasn’t been much said about Hardy since he signed – probably because he’s going to be used as Rhian Brewster’s replacement while plies his trade at Swansea for the rest of the season.
But there is no denying the 21-year-old’s talent, with his two wonderful goals against the Saints.
