Lewis Koumas marked his Liverpool debut by scoring the first goal of his senior career in Wednesday's FA Cup clash with Southampton at Anfield.

The 18-year-old fired Liverpool 1-0 up in the 44th minute with a deflected shot from 19 yards following an assist by fellow teenager Bobby Clark.

Koumas, who was wearing the no.67 jersey on Wednesday, started the game on the left side of Liverpool's front three, but he can also play as a central striker.

He is the son of former Wales international Jason Koumas.

Another youngster doubled Liverpool's lead in the 73rd minute on Wednesday when Jayden Danns, 18, beat Saints keeper Joe Lumley with a cheeky chip.

Danns then scored again 15 minutes later to wrap up a 3-0 win.

This was only the third senior appearance of Danns' career.

He was handed his debut as an 89th-minute sub in last week's 4-1 win over Luton in the Premier League, before making another cameo in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Chelsea in the EFL Cup final.

A total of six teenagers featured for Liverpool on Wednesday, with James McConnell, 19, Trey Nyoni, 16, and Kaide Gordon, 19, also getting game time.
