Ben Doak scored his first goal at senior level to set Middlesbrough on their way to a 2-0 win over Stoke City in the Championship.
The 18-year-old Liverpool loanee starred on the occasion of his full league debut for Boro, opening the scoring from close range 10 minutes before half-time and later being named Player of the Match.
“It was great,” Doak told Boro Live.
“Obviously after missing a good bit of last season it’s good to get a start in the league and scoring my first goal at home, there’s not a better feeling.”
Doak’s Liverpool teammate Lewis Koumas also featured in the match as he started for Stoke.
Three more on-loan Reds played on Saturday: Stefan Bajcetic, Luke Chambers and Luca Stephenson.
Bajcetic completed 68 minutes of Red Bull Salzburg’s 2-0 victory over Austria Wien, Chambers started and finished Wigan Athletic’s goalless draw with Exeter City, and Stephenson recorded two assists as Dundee United drew 3-3 with Kilmarnock.
