🅰️ His two assists inspired a 4-3 comeback win over Villarreal. 🧠 Iraola says he is 'still not the full package'. 📝 What happened 🏃 According to Sky Sports' data column The Radar, Ngumoha has completed 4.47 dribbles per 90 minutes in the Premier League since the start of last season, ahead of Man City's Jeremy Doku. His success rate of 66% is comfortably ahead of the other 150 players with at least 35 attempts in that period. Doku's rate is 52%, and the average is 42%. 🌍 He also leads the Champions League with 18 successful dribbles this season, six more than second-placed Lamine Yamal. In his last three appearances he completed 19 of 22 attempted dribbles. 🅰️ Against Villarreal at Anfield on 20 October, he came on early in the second half and set up two goals in a 4-3 comeback win. He became the third-youngest player to provide two assists in a Champions League game, after Warren Zaire-Emery and Theo Walcott. 🧠 Iraola said: 'There was a moment offensively where he was very difficult to stop,' but added: 'He is only 18, still not the full package.' Jamie Carragher said he 'could be the best winger Liverpool have got'. Sky Sports noted he has played far fewer minutes than most of the comparison group, so a longer sample is needed. 📊 By the numbers • League dribbles per 90: 4.47 • League dribble success rate: 66% (Doku 52%, average 42%) • Champions League dribbles this season: 18 (six more than Yamal) • Last three games: 19 of 22 dribbles completed 🔭 Why it matters With Frimpong and Munoz injured, Ngumoha's role at Liverpool is growing. Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on 1 November.
