Hoever makes history to become Liverpool's youngest ever FA Cup player

Ki-Jana Hoever became Liverpool's youngest ever FA Cup player and their third youngest overall when he replaced Dejan Lovren in the sixth minute against Wolves.

Lovren went down with a hamstring problem in the opening minutes at Molineux which gave Hoever an opportunity to make his debut at the age of 16 years, 11 months and 20 days.

The only players to have appeared earlier for the Reds are Jack Robinson and Jerome Sinclair, who is the youngest Liverpool player in history at 16 years and six days, and Hoever surpassed Ben Woodburn's record as the club's youngest FA Cup player.
