Alexis Mac Allister fired Liverpool in front just after the 20-minute mark against Tottenham Hotspur, and the assist to set him up was a thing of beauty.The Reds survived an early scare inside 10 minutes when a dangerous cross was played into Lucas Bergvall, whose close-range shot was brilliantly kept out by Giorgi Mamardashvili.Whereas the Swedish youngster failed to seize his big chance, the Argentine midfielder made the most of his at the other end of the pitch.Mac Allister fires Liverpool in front against SpursCody Gakpo cut inside from the left flank and picked out Rio Ngumoha on the edge of the penalty area.The teenage winger then charged at Destiny Udogie and expertly sidestepped him with a sublime piece of skill before laying the ball off to the onrushing Mac Allister, who crashed a first-time shot into the top corner of the visitors’ net, with Martin Dubravka in the Spurs goal rendered a spectator.(Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images)Ngumoha’s assist for Mac Allister was sublimeIt’s another superb finish from Liverpool’s number 10 following his brilliant strike against Atletico Madrid last week, with the 27-year-old walking the walk after recently voicing his displeasure over not being awarded a contract extension during the summer.While the Argentina midfielder will rightly get lots of plaudits for the quality of the finish, the assist from Ngumoha was just as scintillating, with the Reds winger having too much guile for Udogie to handle.It’s those moments of trickery which have the Anfield crowd enraptured by the mesmerising skill of the 18-year-old, whose emergence in the first team has been one of the biggest positives in a difficult past 12 months for LFC.With competition for wide attacking berths now intense, Ngumoha will no doubt be keen to make his case to Andoni Iraola at every opportunity. He did just that with his fancy footwork to set up Mac Allister to lash home the opening goal for Liverpool tonight.You can view Mac Allister’s goal below, via ITV Football on X:WHAT. A.
