#5 Ben Woodburn announces his arrival on the big stage
The icing on the cake for Liverpool was the second goal scored by young striker Ben Woodburn. A product of the club academy, Woodburn became the youngest ever player to score for Liverpool at the age of 17 years and 45 days (beating Michael Owen’s record by more than 3 months).
There had been a lot of buzz around the teenager after he made rapid strides with the youth team and had an impressive pre-season with the first team.
Klopp showed faith in Woodburn and brought him on with the game still level at 0-0 and Woodburn’s well taken goal ensured that Liverpool were able to wrap up the game and secure progress to the semifinals.
On 29 November 1998, Steven Gerrard made his debut for Liverpool. Exactly 18 years later, Ben Woodburn announced his arrival on the big stage by scoring in front of the Kop.
