Ngumoha, who joined Liverpool from Chelsea last summer and made his senior debut last month, netted the equalizer after Trey Nyoni pulled one back.
Alvin Ayman sealed the dramatic victory in stoppage time, capping off a memorable week after signing his first professional contract.
Nyoni and Amara Nallo both started, having featured in Liverpool’s midweek Champions League defeat to PSV, with Nallo seeing red just minutes into his debut.
