Trey Nyoni, at just 16 years old, made a historic debut for Liverpool in their 3-0 victory over Southampton in an FA Cup match at Anfield. He came on as a substitute in the 77th minute, replacing Harvey Elliott in the ‘Mohamed Salah position’. This marked a significant moment for Nyoni, who had been an unused substitute in Liverpool’s previous matches against Luton Town and Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.
Liverpool’s young talent was on display throughout the match, with 18-year-old Lewis Koumas scoring in the 44th minute on his full debut, and another 18-year-old, Jayden Danns, finding the net twice in the second half. Manager Jurgen Klopp praised the young players for their performances, emphasizing their finishing abilities and their importance to the team amidst a long list of injuries to senior players.
Nyoni’s debut was particularly noteworthy as he became Liverpool’s youngest player ever to feature in an FA Cup match. Klopp’s heartwarming reaction to Nyoni’s substitution showcased the significance of the moment for both the player and the manager, with Klopp visibly delighted as Nyoni took to the field.
