Liverpool target Fabio Carvalho opens scoring against Manchester City in FA Cup

Fabio Carvalho may well be showing Liverpool fans a sign of what's to come as he put Fulham in the lead against Premier League leaders Manchester City.

The Championship leaders travelled to Manchester for their FA Cup fourth round clash on Saturday afternoon and it took just three minutes for the scoring to be opened.

Liverpool's pursuit of Carvalho was well documented over the last few days of the January transfer window, with a fee being agreed in the last hours.

Unfortunately for the Reds, time was their worst enemy and as the deadline hit, the deal was not complete and Liverpool have been made to wait for their new star.

Former Liverpool man Harry Wilson was played the ball on the right hand side of the box and his pass found Carvalho, who was surging into the box.

The 19-year-old showed such composure for his tender years as he slotted the ball left-footed into the City goal to put the Championship leaders in front.

No doubt Klopp will be aware of the goal as the Liverpool manager confirmed the clubs interest in the youngster in his press conference on Friday.
