Liverpool boss Rodgers happy for record breaker Jordan, er, Jerome Sinclair

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was pleased for Jerome Sinclair after giving him his debut in their Capital One Cup win at West Bromwich Albion.

Sinclair became Liverpool's youngest ever player at 16 years and six days after being introduced as a late substitute, even though the official team sheet identified him as Jordan Sinclair.

Rodgers said: "Congratulations and he got a nice round of applause afterwards in the changing room.

"But now his hard work begins. It is no good being the youngest player and then drifting out of it but thankfully he is a good kid."
