Liverpool youngster Rio Ngumoha maintained his impressive pre-season form by opening the scoring within two minutes of his Anfield debut.
Ngumoha has already caught the eye for the Premier League champions during their build-up to the new season.
The teenager, 16, had netted with a solo effort in their pre-season victory over Yokohama Marinos on their Far East tour last week.
Ngumoha displayed his potential again during the first of Liverpol's two matches against Athletic Club on Monday afternoon.
The midfielder drove with the ball towards the Athletic Club goal, after receiving it on the halfway line.
Ngumoha then preceded to open his body and curl a right footed effort into the bottom corner of the net.
