Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has hailed his scouting staff after new signing David N'Gog found the net again in Norway last night.
N'Gog opened his Liverpool account with an impressive solo effort against Rangers recently - one among four unanswered goals the Reds scored at Ibrox.
The score-sheet looked eerily similar after the Merseyside giants' clash with Valerenga, as the French striker - along with Xabi Alonso, Yossi Benayoun and Fernando Torres - netted again with a composed finish late in the game.
The 19-year-old has made a positive impact since his move from Paris Saint-Germain and could feature more than expected this season, especially if Torres should suffer any prolonged absence.
And Benitez praised his scouts, led by Eduardo Macia, for singling out N'Gog - not to mention the likes of Lucas Leiva, Emiliano Insua, Damien Plessis and Krisztian Nemeth.
The Liverpool manager said: "They are finding players like N'Gog, players with quality who are not a high price."
