Sensational Liverpool wonderkid makes it 11 goals in just 8 games
Liverpool have another special talent coming through. One wonderkid just made it 11 goals in eight games.
Kieran Morrison is in the form of his life right now. The teenager scored again for Liverpool Under 21s on Sunday in a 5-0 demolition of Wolves.
And that scoreline undersells it, really. Liverpool were 5-0 up with little more than half an hour gone, with things easing up after that.
Still, it took some sensational saves from Wolves' goalkeeper Alfie Brooks to keep the scoreline at just five. Liverpool easily could have hit seven or eight here.
Morrison, of course, was at the centre of things. He scored and assisted here, which doesn't even include his work that created an own goal.
It takes his recent run to 11 goals and three assists across his last eight Premier League 2 fixtures. A sensational string of form and a level that surely sees him bag more minutes for the senior side.
Kieran Morrison shines again
Morrison wasn't the only one to catch the eye here. Trey Nyoni was absolutely outstanding, forcing two Liverpool goals through elite high-pressing.
The midfielder, quite honestly, looks too good for the Under 21 level. It's got to be a loan next season at the very least, if not the Reds' first-team.
Will Wright, too, continues to catch the eye. He scored and assists in the first half and it takes his Premier League record to 12 matches, five goals, six assists.
Liverpool have some extraordinary youngsters coming through their academy thanks to top-level recruiting in recent years. Of course, this group doesn't even include Rio Ngumoha, who has earned a proper first-team promotion of late.
The future couldn't really look much brighter.
