‘Timo who?’, ‘lessons from Trent’: Some Liverpool fans in awe of Reds-owned player’s effort

A number of Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to praise Anfield prodigy Rhian Brewster’s latest display on loan.

The 20-year-old is one of the most highly rated players who have come through the Reds academy in recent years and, prior to the football shutdown, had netted four goals in 11 Championship games for Swansea City.

Brewster has hit the ground running following the resumption of English football, netting twice in a 3-0 hammering of Middlesbrough and, against Millwall, fired a superb free kick past Bartosz Bialkowski.

Though it was given as an own goal for the Lions keeper, there was no doubting the quality of the effort, which pulled Swansea level on 66 minutes after Mason Bennett had given Millwall the lead in the first half.

Admittedly, Brewster had been relatively quiet up until that moment of magic, though he worked hard to keep the Millwall back line busy, and could have netted earlier on in the game, shortly after his side went behind.

Here is what some Liverpool fans said about Brewster on social media:

Timo who ?

Brewster’s scored 7 in 13 starts for Swansea, and is even more impressive considering

– It’s his first run of professional league games
– Comes after the major knee injury he had
– Done it mid-season in a new team so had no time to gel in
– Done it playing for a mid-table team

What a goal from Rhian Brewster

Elliott, Jones, Williams and Brewster you do have to give these boys a chance otherwise what is the point of the academy. Nice problem to have.

The 1-1 draw kept Swansea within reach of the playoffs, just four points separating them from the top six with six games to go.
