Published: July 13, 2016

Ovie Ejaria featured as Liverpool thrashed Fleetwood Town 5-0 in a pre-season fixture at Highbury Stadium on Wednesday night.

Dubbed the New Paul Pogba by his legion of fans at home and abroad, the central midfielder made his debut for the Reds in Friday’s win against Tranmere Rovers.

Ejaria was given another run out when he came on at the start of the second half as manager Jürgen Klopp made eleven changes to the line-up.

Marko Grujic put Liverpool in front in the first half, before Woodburn, Lucas and Firmino (2) netted in the second half to give the Premier League side a comprehensive win over their League One opponents.

The 18-year-old Ejaria joined Liverpool in 2014 after he was released by Arsenal.
