12th Dec – Liverpool 1 – 1 Blackburn Rovers (FA Premier Academy League) – In a frustrating match for both Ngoo and the Reds, Liverpool could only come away with a draw despite probably deserving a win. The 6ft 4 striker nearly made a half chance for himself during the first as his aerial threat played havoc in the Rovers defence but he had a golden opportunity from a cross in the second half and somehow headed over the top of the goal after Thomas Ince had put in a pin-point delivery. Liverpool forced the play early after the interval and Ngoo should have again done much better as he overhit a simple ball which would have seen Chris Buchtmann clean through on goal. Ngoo was substituted for Ellison mid way through the second half and his replacement Ellison scored the equalising score after a well taken shot.
