Liverpool Legend Still In Awe Of Aribo's Super Goal Vs Brazil, Tips Him For Stardom

Liverpool legend, Steven Gerrard has lauded Nigeria international Joe Aribo for his super goal during last weekend international friendly against Brazil and went as far as reiterating the qualities of the talented Super Eagle.

With ten minutes left on the clock to half time in Kallang, the midfielder picked up a pass from just on the edge of the box, nicely skipped past two Brazil defenders before blasting an exquisite finish past Ederson Moraes in goal.

Speaking to Rangers TV via HITC , the Liverpool legend revealed that he is still marveled by the technique and quality the 23-year-old put in for his goal against the five-time world champions.

"The moment of the goal [against Brazil] and the type of goal, he will score them throughout his career because he's got all the attributes to make the box, he's got the soft feet in the box to create exciting things, and I still have to pinch myself that we got him here," he said.

"Joe can be whatever he wants to be. If he stays as humble as he is, stays as professional and keeps showing effort and desire, Joe can make his career whatever he wants it to be."

Aribo was on from start to finish at the Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh as Rangers drew 1-1 with Hearts on Sunday's early noon kick-off in their Scottish Premiership match.

He is thus, having a banner season in Scotland and have also showed his mettle for the club in Europe, having scored some important goals in the Uefa Europa League qualifying run.
