What were you doing at 18?
More than likely, you weren’t doing this.
Sheyi Ojo was born in 1997. NINETEEN NINETY SEVEN! And he’s been performing magic at Anfield.
The young winger scored his first Liverpool goal in some style with the second of three goals on the night that sent the Reds comfortably through to the FA Cup fourth round.
The tension was palpable with the supporters well aware that a 1-0 lead was too delicate to feel comfortable but up popped Ojo with this beauty.
With his pace, his marker expected Ojo to attempt to take the ball past him but the England U19 international calmly glanced up and placed the ball into the top corner.
Quality.
And Reds fans lapped it up.

Ibe is Ryan Babel II
Ojo is Johnny Barnes II
That's the gulf in difference between these 2 lads potential

Ojo made the difference in 1st game at Exeter and he's killed off this tie tonight. That's a quality finish from a very exciting youngster

Sheyi Ojo has filled me with more optimism and hope in 2 brief appearances than Lallana and Milner have given me all season.

Give Ojo Sturridge's wages and Milner's shirt number

Ojo showing Ibe what happens when you hit the ball with the side of your foot 👍🏻 and who's this lad up front? Looked like Messi there…
