"It's a very proud moment, something I dreamed of for a long time," he said to . "I feel like it's a dream. It's unbelievable. I just couldn't believe my goal went in. I didn't know what to do. I went over to the corner and did a knee slide. It was brilliant, so it was. It was unfortunate the way Trent got injured. I just had to try to take my chance. I feel I've done pretty well. [Klopp leaving was a] big shock to us all. It's giving us extra motivation."

Bradley has been the rising star for Jurgen Klopp's team in recent weeks. The midweek clash was just his second Premier League appearance, having grabbed an assist in their previous match against Bournemouth.
