Jordon Ibe, the Liverpool youngster from Nigeria, rescued Liverpool from an embarrassment defeat on Friday with a brilliant strike.
Liverpool were trailing a Malaysian All Stars in a friendly before Ibe, 19, produced a moment of pure magic to tie the game at 1-1, which was the final score.
The forward, tipped to replace Raheem Sterling who has joined Manchester City, checked inside a defender from long range on 28 minutes and smashed a cracking shot into the top corner.
Liberian Patrick Wleh had given the Malaysians the lead in the 12th minute.
Defeat to the Malaysians would have been a big humiliation for the English giants but Ibe’s wonderful goal spared their blushes.
Ibe is still eligible to play for the Super Eagles and new Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh is interested in him.
