English Premier League club Liverpool have continued to celebrate Nigeria-eligible forward Rio Chima Ngumoha following his goal against Newcastle United.
The 16-year-old made history on Monday night, becoming the club's youngest scorer in the English top-flight following his dramatic 100th-minute winner at St. James’ Park.
Born in Newham, East London, on 29 August 2008, the striker found the back of the net with practically the last kick of the game, earning his side all three points.

He has continued to make the headlines after that performance, as the club also shared a clip of Ngumoha's goal on their official TikTok handle.
The post was accompanied by Flavour's hit song 'Game Changer' (Dike). The club picked the part with the lyrics:
"The emperor, the conqueror. The champion, the lion is here. Nzogbu nzogbu. Enyimba enyi. Tuo ya dike (Ahhh). Ne nu dike."
And fans have taken to the comment section of the clip to react. CEO EDUBRAZIL said:
"Wow, Nigerian Igbo song on Liverpool page , Omo Nigeria no small oo."
cuminshighlights19 suggested:
"So this guy na from Nigeria LoL he go soon choose England now."
Nosoil Limited posited:
"omo I shocked hearing flavour song. I rush check the page followers."
Akosua Bernice wrote:
"I like how Nigerians are claiming our boy and our Music. Go higher our boy Chukueze Mensah."
A user added:
"As an Arsenal fan and an igbo boy I want to say from the bottom of my heart e nor go better for Ghana and Cameroon with south Africa mostly Ghana."
Nonso_SMG stated:
"y'all saying Igbo to the world etc. if these people wanna trend,they use Nigeria. na we get everywhere..and once we support them,they blow. so,they should honor us."
Ngumoha - the new 'Agba Baller'?
A day after the game, the club had tagged the youngster with Asisat Oshoala's nickname amid talks of an intention to represent Nigeria.
The club shared a photo of the teenager on Instagram and tagged him 'Agba Baller', a moniker synonymous with Super Falcons' striker Oshoala.
He was considered one of the brightest prospects in the academy system of English football when he stunned Chelsea last summer by leaving for Liverpool.
It was gathered that the London club Chelsea made several contract offers to the star, and they did everything possible to prevent Liverpool’s scouts from attending academy matches at their training ground. A decision was eventually made by the club's hierarchy.
