The Liverpool ball boy who set up Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner vs Barcelona - where is he now?

May 7, 2019, will always be one of the greatest days in Liverpool’s history.

The Reds needed a miracle to overcome Barcelona in their Champions League semi-final second leg tie at Anfield.

They were second best throughout in the first leg, losing 3-0. But Liverpool produced a miraculous comeback to win 4-0 and reach the final.

Their fourth goal on the night, scored by Divock Origi, came after a quickly taken corner by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold spotted Barcelona’s players out of position and crossed perfectly for Origi, who scored from a few yards out.

But the goal wouldn’t have been possible without the actions of Liverpool’s ball boy, Oakley Cannonier.

The ball went out of play and Cannonier almost immediately provided Alexander-Arnold with another, allowing the right-back and Origi to catch Barca’s players off guard.

But what has happened to Cannonier since then?

It turns out the youngster, now 17 years old, is showing great promise.

Cannonier, a striker, scored his first goal for Liverpool’s under 18s just months after his actions in the Champions League semi-final.

He’s continued to kick on and, at the start of the season, he signed his first professional contract at the club.

And he has justified Liverpool’s decision to give him that contract. According to Transfermarkt, Cannonier has scored 19 goals in just 16 U18 Premier League games this campaign.

He’s clearly a goal machine and on Wednesday, his incredible form in front of goal continued as he netted twice for Liverpool U19s as they beat Sporting Lisbon 2-1 today in the Al Abtal Cup.
