Just before halftime, Koumas scored from 19 yards to make his senior debut and put Jurgen Klopp’s young Reds ahead.

Danns, the son of former Birmingham and Blackburn player Neil Danns, made it 2-0 in the 73rd minute with a sly chip over Saints custodian Joe Lumley.

Fifteen minutes later, he sealed the victory by converting a rebound after Lumley had stopped Conor Bradley’s initial attempt.

Danns had only made three appearances as a senior in his career.

He made his Premier League debut last week against Luton, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute. On Sunday, he made another appearance in the EFL Cup final, winning 1-0 over Chelsea.
