Ben Doak enjoyed a hugely impressive start to his Liverpool career as he helped inspired the under-18s to a resounding opening-day victory.
Doak, who officially arrived from Celtic in the summer for a compensation fee of around £600,000, scored twice in a 6-2 triumph against Middlesbrough in the U18 Premier League North at the Academy in Kirkby on Saturday afternoon.
Lewis Koumas, son of former Wales and Tranmere Rovers midfielder Jason, netted the other four goals as Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's side romped home in blisteringly hot conditions.
