‘Absolute gem’, ‘the real deal’: Some fans totally blown away by young Liverpool loanee’s display

Liverpool loanee Rhian Brewster has once again delivered a standout display as he netted twice for Swansea in their 3-0 win away at Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The 20-year-old is one of the most highly rated players emerging from the Reds academy in recent years and, prior to the football shutdown, had netted four goals in 11 Championship games for the Swans.

With the Championship now back under way, playoff-chasing Swansea returned to action with a trip to relegation-battling Boro, and it didn’t take long for Brewster to make his mark against Jonathan Woodgate’s side.

On 18 minutes, Andre Ayew got the better of Jonny Howson and crossed for Brewster to sidefoot home, the Anfield prodigy celebrating by unveiling a top bearing the anti-racism message “Our colour is not a crime”.

Brewster then made it two just three minutes later when he connected with Aldo Kalulu’s cross to volley into the back of the net, and by half time the game was all but over as Ayew added a third from the penalty spot.

With Brewster contracted to Liverpool until 2023 (), it’s clear that the Reds have him in their long-term plans, and judging by the Swansea fanbase’s social media reaction, there is plenty to get excited about.
