Move over, Michael Owen. Ben Woodburn is in the house.
Woodburn became the youngest goal scorer in Liverpool FC’s history Tuesday in the Reds’ 2-0 win over Leeds United in the EFL Cup quarterfinals. Woodburn struck in the 81st minute to confirm the victory and that thing people always say about dreams.
This is what dreams are made of. What a play!

Woodburn, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Reds fans certainly are hoping many more goals lie in his future.
