Sheyi Ojo Becomes Youngest Goalscorer For Liverpool In FA Cup
Published: January 21, 2016
England youth - teamer Sheyi Ojo netted his first-ever professional goal in Liverpool colours in a competitive fixture in their 3 - 0 thrashing of Exeter City in the FA Cup third - round replay.
The winger was recalled from his loan spell at Wolves earlier this month following a string of injuries picked up by key players in the Liverpool squad and his lack of first - team opportunities at the Molineux Stadium.
Aged 18 years and 215 days, Sheyi Ojo entered Liverpool folklore when he hit target in the 74th minute against the League Two opponents, thus becoming the youngest ever goalscorer in the competition for the Reds.
There was a lot of Nigerian interest in the game played at Anfield, with manager Jurgen Klopp naming Tiago Ilori and Jordon Ibe in his starting lineup while Ojo hopped off the bench in the 65th minute.
Liverpool’s reward for beating Exeter City is a fourth - round meeting with Victor Moses’s West Ham United on January 30.
