"He is very exciting. He reminded me of Milan Baros when he came onto the pitch, said Houllier of his exciting young compatriot.
"He needs time to settle but I told him in training on Friday that he has stepped up a gear and was ready. He played very well for the reserves midweek scoring twice, and deserved a chance.
"Florent is very quick, he can beat players and has a good leap and is a good header of the ball. He took his goal very well and I'm pleased for him."
