Mohamed Salah is not the only player at Liverpool to hit 20 goals so far this season as he shares the accomplishment with under-18s star Oakley Cannonier.
The name might ring a bell with some Reds fans, and understandably so. Cannonier is, in fact, the ballboy who shot to fame for his role in Liverpool ’s historic 4-0 victory over Barcelona in the Champions League in 2019. With Liverpool drawing 3-3 with the Catalan giants on aggregate, Cannonier returned the ball to Trent Alexander-Arnold almost immediately after Liverpool were awarded a corner in the 79th minute.
The England right-back was, therefore, given the chance to catch the Barca defence off-guard and deliver a quick corner which Divock Origi converted from. The victory meant that Liverpool booked themselves a spot in the final, which they won. Cannonier was praised by many at the club, thanking him for his quick thinking.
