Klopp to keep record-breaker Woodburn under wraps

His strike breaks previous record, held by Michael Owen, by nearly 100 days. Congratulations BenWoodburn on becoming the youngest ever scorer for LFC at 17yrs and 45days.

He was actually named on the substitutes’ bench for Liverpool’s opening game of the season at Arsenal, but failed to come on in the 4-3 victory and has since made a combination of nine appearances for Liverpool Under-23s and England Under-19s.

Owen, who was at the match and witnessed Woodburn score in front of the Kop, was quick to pay his tribute.

“With a little bit more composure, we would have scored two or three goals tonight”.

‘Along this period in the winter we’ll need the whole squad and everybody’s shown again that they can step in when needed, and that’s very important for the whole club to know’.

Former Liverpool manager Roy Evans, who was also Wales assistant manager under John Toshack says Chris Coleman may have a battle to prevent Woodburn switching allegiances. “Everybody is smiling in the dressing room”.

“We could have created better, we could have been more creative, we could have showed more greed in the last third – that’s all part of the truth, but at the end, I made the changes so I know how hard it is”.

He shared the backpage headlines with the air crash tragedy in Colombia that all but wiped out the Brazilian team Chapecoense. But eight changes, it’s not easy.

The teenagers fielded in last night’s EFL Cup quarter final win over Leeds represent this club’s brightest group of youth players for some time.

Woodburn struck late on for Liverpool.

Divock Origi scored five minutes before having previously laboured against an industrious Leeds side who took the game to their hosts. “He is a brilliant young player”, Lucas said. He did very well.

It was Phillips who nearly scored just before the break when his shot from distance deflected wide off Lucas with the keeper beaten.

In the 89th minute, Mbokani-on-loan from Dynamo Kiev-was sent off for lunging forward with his head at Magpies defender Jamaal Lascelles. Snodgrass made no mistake for Hull, before Dwight Gayle hit the bar with his attempt for Newcastle.
