Ben Woodburn can go on to become a great player for Liverpool, Anfield teammate Sadio Mane has said.
Woodburn became the club's youngest-ever goal scorer when, at the age of 17 years and 45 days, he struck in Tuesday's 2-0 EFL Cup win over Leeds.
And Mane told PA Sport he believed the academy graduate had "a very good future."
"I want to congratulate him," he said. "I hope he will keep going and working hard, and I think he will be a great player.
"Everyone was happy for him to score his first goal, especially in a big atmosphere at Anfield."
Woodburn, who made his first-team debut when he was brought on in the closing stages of the win against Sunderland on Saturday, was also used as a substitute against Leeds.
His emergence as an option to provide cover up front is timely after the Reds lost Philippe Coutinho for at least five weeks with ankle ligament damage, with striker Daniel Sturridge sidelined by a calf problem.
Manager Jurgen Klopp said: "We have problems, we have injuries, we have strong opponents, but we have wonderful people around us, we have a wonderful crowd, a wonderful stadium, wonderful away supporters.
"We are in a good moment until now, but we have to carry on and that's how it is. Hopefully it stays like this."
In a starting XI against Leeds that showed eight changes, right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, an 18-year-old academy contemporary of Woodburn, and 19-year-old Ovie Ejaria, making his fourth first-team appearance, were the outstanding players.
Klopp has opened up a path to the first team from the academy, and Mane believes the youngsters coming through have added an extra dimension.
"We have a great team this season and all the young players are playing confidently and are doing well and the game will become easier for them," he added. "I think they will help the team to move up."
