Former Newcastle United prospect Bobby Clark's flying start at Liverpool has continued with a senior debut in a record win at Anfield. Less than a year after leaving the Magpies, the 17-year-old has signed his first professional deal on Merseyside and made his first-team breakthrough for the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp's side endured a troubled start to the Premier League campaign, with the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders failing to win their opening three fixtures. Liverpool already have a number of senior stars sidelined with injury, which has opened the door for several youngsters to impress.
Clark is one of these to have become a fixture in first-team training in recent weeks, and was named in the matchday squads for the recent draw to Crystal Palace and defeat at Manchester United. The son of former Magpies midfielder and Chronicle columnist Lee Clark has now made his first top-flight appearance as a late substitute in the nine-goal thrashing of Bournemouth on Saturday.
