Fans on Twitter have raved about Liverpool and Wales international right-back Neco Williams.

Willians was in action for Wales in their UEFA Nations League Group B4 game against Bulgaria on Sunday.

The 19-year-old right-back did not start the match, but the teenager came on as a substitute in the 65th minute.

It was the youngster’s only second international appearance for Wales, and he scored for his side in the fourth minute of injury time to help them to a 1-0 win.

Williams showed his quality with runs down the right, looked calm and composed on the ball, and fittingly scored the winner.

According to WhoScored, the teenager had a pass accuracy of 73.3%, won one header, took 30 touches, attempted two dribbles, made two tackles and one interception, and put in two crosses.

The teenager made three starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Reds last season, according to WhoScored.
