If actions speak louder than words, Ben Woodburn has been shouting on the football pitch for the past year.
It was on a late autumn evening 11 months ago that the teenager became the youngest goalscorer in Liverpool history – aged 17 years and 45 days – with an emphatic, Kop-end finish against Leeds United in the League Cup.
Eyes wide and arms outspread in celebration, the quiet boy from Chester marked the moment with a rare outpouring of emotion.
Jürgen Klopp, keen to manage expectations from the off, urged reporters inside Anfield that night to simply write ‘Goalscorer, Ben Woodburn’ in their summaries.
