According to Opta Statistics, the talented midfielder from Stockport also became the first 18-year-old to score against the Reds in the Premier League since Cesc Fabregas achieved the feat for Arsenal in May 2005.
Unfortunately, Mohamed Salah ensured the joy surrounding Kobbie's goal was shortlived as he netted a controversial penalty to draw the Merseyside club level.
Regardless, the youngster's goal sparked a frenzy on social media platforms, with countless admirers applauding his talent and impact, particularly as he continues to flourish in Erik ten Hag's team despite their struggles.
