Teenager Rio Ngumoha, Chelsea’s Big Loss, Liverpool’s Sumptuous Gain

Sports
By Andy Hunter & Jacob Steinberg There was vindication as well as a place in the Liverpool history books for Rio Ngumoha with the ice-cool finish he swept past Nick Pope at St James’ Park on Monday. The 16-year-old has announced himself on the English Premier League stage, as every one of his coaches predicted he would, though it is debatable his name would have registered so quickly without a bold decision taken a year ago.
