(Video) Young Liverpool defender embarks on crazy, Matip-esque run to set up goalscoring chance on other end of the pitch | OneFootball
Stefan Bajcetic has wowed fans on the Twittersphere with his remarkable run during the Liverpool U18s 5-2 defeat to their Leeds United counterparts at the weekend.
Dealing with a threat on the edge of the box, the young centre-half won back possession before embarking on a run to the opposite end of the pitch, whilst fending off pressure, to set up an opportunity for fellow youngster Oakley Cannonier.

It was a move not too dissimilar to the marauding runs fans have become accustomed to witnessing with regard to Anfield favourite, Joel Matip.
The 16-year-old was signed for the Academy early in the year, switching from La Liga outfit Celta Vigo.
