**Teenager Ngumoha Saves Liverpool's Season With First Anfield Goal**

sports
A 17-year-old winger gave Liverpool a crucial victory. Rio Ngumoha scored his first goal at Anfield and helped create another in a 2-0 win over Fulham. The win ended a difficult period for manager Arne Slot. Liverpool had lost their last two cup quarter-finals, increasing pressure on the team. Fulham failed to challenge a vulnerable Liverpool. The visitors were passive and wasted their few chances. Ngumoha's excellent performance energized his team. His goal and assist for Mohamed Salah secured Liverpool's 1,500th league win at their home stadium. This was only Liverpool's second win in six games after a Champions League trip this season. It provides needed confidence before they face Paris Saint-Germain in Europe next Tuesday. Ngumoha has now made a strong case to be a regular starter.
