Liverpool boss Arne Slot’s 5-word message to Rio Ngumoha revealed after 16-year-old scores winning goal in 3-2 triumph over Newcastle

Liverpool manager Arne Slot's message for young matchwinner Rio Ngumoha has been revealed following their 3-2 win against Newcastle United. The Reds secured all three points from a hostile St. James' Park on Monday, August 25 thanks to their 16-year-old prodigy.

In what was a cracking game for the neutrals, Ngumoha made the headlines with his winner in the 90+10th minute of the match. The teenager was only introduced from the bench in the 90+6th minute of the game and grabbed a match-winning goal on his Premier League debut.

Following the game, the Liverpool players and staff were all over the former Chelsea youngster and embracing him. Arne Slot was seen congratulating the winger and told him to enjoy his moment. The Dutchman told the youngster, as per Liverpool FC's official page on Instagram:

"What a moment - enjoy it!"

Ngumoha made only one senior appearance for the Merseyside giants before Monday's game. He featured in the 4-0 win against Accrington Stanley last season in the FA Cup third round.

Newcastle United were on top of Arne Slot's side from the first whistle before Ryan Gravenberch scored against the run of play in the 35th minute. The Magpies saw their makeshift striker Anthony Gordon being brandished a straight red card in the 45+3rd minute.

Liverpool doubled their lead moments after the second half started with Hugo Ekitike scoring his third goal in three games. However, the Reds were still pegged back twice by a 10-man Newcastle United with Bruno Guimaraes and William Osula finding the back of the net.

Rio Ngumoha's winner sees Arne Slot's side secure valuable three points despite not being at their best. He has also become the youngest player ever to score a winning goal in the Premier League, eclipsing Wayne Rooney's record.
