Liverpool winger Ojo on target for Wolves as Arsenal keeper Martinez hands shirt to lucky fan

Talented Liverpool youngster Sheyi Ojo netted his first goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers in their Capital One Cup win over Barnet on Tuesday.

The 18-year-old winger scored Wolves' second goal of the night at Molineux as the home side survived a late scare to eventually defeat the visiting League Two team 2-1 in the second round of the league cup.

Bright Enobakhare opened the scoring from two yards in the third minute before Ojo curled Adan Le Fondre's pass home from just inside the area.

Barnet responded through Bira Dembele in the 76th minute but luckily for Wolves, the damage had already been done as they progress to the third round of the cup here they will meet Championship rivals Middlesrough at the Riverside Stadium in September.

Ojo, who is on a season-long loan at Wolves, was also named Man of the Match in what was a very impressive performance by the England U18 international.

And in a very sporting gesture, Ojo's fellow loanee, Arsenal goalkeeper Damian Emiliano Martinez, took the time to hand his playing shirt to a Wolves fan who was sat down the other end of the pitch.
