Liverpool full-back Neco Williams has endured a mixed spell whilst filling in for an absent Trent Alexander-Arnold over the last few weeks.
After being chastised online for his performances against Atalanta and Brighton, the young Welsh full-back has put in back-to-back stellar displays in the space of four days and, as such, received the backing of numerous Reds supporters.
The 19-year-old Wales international was booked early on in Sunday’s win over Wolves and some may have feared the worst as Williams would have to spend more than 80 minutes dealing with one of the most dangerous opponents the Premier League has to offer in Adama Traore.
However, the right-back was almost imperious from that moment on and even found time to influence in an attacking sense before being replaced by a returning Alexander-Arnold late on. Indeed, his WhoScored rating of 7.08 far outranked that of Traore’s 6.52, a clear sign as to who came out on top in that particular duel.
Here’s a portion of the replies from Liverpool fans to the Welshman’s post-match Twitter post…
