'Outrageous' - Liverpool fans amazed by Neco Williams goal in behind-closed-door friendly

Neco Williams caught the eye in Liverpool’s behind closed door friendly at Anfield.

The Reds right-back was in the team that beat Aston Villa 4-1 in the friendly on Sunday afternoon.

Williams was joined by Divock Origi, Kaide Gordon and Curtis Jones in getting their names on the scoresheet.

Club captain Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara also featured in the contest at Anfield at the weekend.

Williams posted a video on Twitter showing his goal, and it has certainly got a lot of attention.

Picking the ball up on the edge of the box, Williams hits his effort against the post with his right foot, before retrieving the ball and firing it into the top corner with his left after an audacious turn.

Here is a selection of what they had to say.

CJ: “Cafu is that you?”

The Goated Shonen: “Great finish lad, keep working hard your chances will come.”
