Only 17 minutes later, he casually slid the ball past England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale after forcing the usually reliable William Saliba into a mistake and brushing the 6 feet 4 inch defender aside. But the teenager has never before given his rival’s reputation any consideration. Ferguson made a remarkable cameo against Chelsea when he was just 14 years old, playing for the Irish team Bohemians in a preseason friendly.
