Rather than Leeds United's first trip to Anfield since 2003, a first goal from teenager Ben Woodburn cemented last night in the annals of Liverpool history.

The 17-year-old made his first senior appearance for the Reds against Sunderland last weekend to become the club's third youngest-ever debutant.

But Cheshire-born Woodburn improved upon that record last night, becoming the youngest ever goalscorer in Liverpool history with an 81st-minute strike that secure Liverpool's place in the EFL Cup semi-final and Leeds' elimination from the tournament.

The Reds stars were queuing up to score when Georginio Wijnaldum found himself free on the break, but the ball passed through a cluster of players to find its way to Woodburn at the far post, where he dispatched a powerful half-volley into the net.

But as Jurgen Klopp and Garry Monk both decided to rotate their habitual XIs with an influx of young players, Woodburn wasn't the only prodigious hotshot who caught Football FanCast's eye. We take a look at three more youngsters who impressed under the Anfield floodlights last night.

Ronaldo Vieira

With a name compounded of two Premier League icons, nominative determinism suggests Ronaldo Vieira is destined to ply his trade in the English top flight. The Guinea-Bissau-born teenager only joined the Elland Road set-up in September 2015 but the performance last night justified his fast-track to the first-team.

The 18-year-old relentlessly duelled in midfield, expressing athleticism, energy and tenacity in abundance, and finished the match with five tackles to his name - the most of any player on either side - whilst contributing at the more glamorous end with two successful dribbles and one created chance.

Of course, Leeds fans wouldn't have been too surprised by Vieira's performance. He's been a recurring feature in their Championship campaign as well - but producing another impressive performance against top flight opposition suggests a big future.

Ovie Ejaria

Not everything Ovie Ejaria attempted last night came off and he was perhaps a little naive in trying to create some magic every time he received the ball, rather than keeping it simple until the right opportunity arose.

Nonetheless, the 19-year-old showed some delicate touches and real inventiveness in the right role of a midfield three, linking up well with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Saido Mane and Divock Origi.

He produced arguably the turn of the night, followed by an equally impressive pass, and finished the match with two created chances to his name, but Jurgen Klopp may be unwilling to grant Ejaria more first-team responsibility until he sees more evidence of his defensive qualities.

The teenager completed just one tackle against Leeds and was brought off in the 81st minute when the Reds were defending a lead.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Arguably the Man of the Match, Trent Alexander-Arnold caused relentless havoc down the right-hand side, creating the space on the overlap to allow Sadio Mane to cut inside and demonstrating an exciting mixture of dynamism and technical flair.

Indeed, the converted winger looks almost tailor-made for the modern game, combining strength, pace and mobility, and possesses the dynamism necessary to succeed in Jurgen Klopp's gegenpressing system.

Despite continually pushing up high, the 18-year-old rarely let Leeds' Stuart Dallas in behind him and his influence on the match told in the 76th minute as he supplied a deliciously inviting low cross to the near post, which Divock Origi tucked away with a delicate finish.

It won't be long before Alexander-Arnold is challenging Nathaniel Clyne for a starting berth in the Premier League.
