Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen believes the emergence of exciting teenage winger Jordon Ibe is evidence the club's continued investment in young talent will pay off. The 19-year-old made only the second Premier League start of his career and put in a man-of-the-match performance in the 224th Merseyside derby, which finished as a goalless draw at Goodison Park. Excluding Steven Gerrard, the Reds' other attack-minded players in midfield and up front were Raheem Sterling (20), Philippe Coutinho (22), Alberto Moreno (22) and Jordan Henderson (24) - and even Daniel Sturridge, coming off the bench, is still only 25.
