Liverpool defender Martin Kelly was delighted with his winning Premiership debut in the victory over Portsmouth.

Kelly was introduced as a second-half substitute against Pompey to make his first Barclays Premier League appearance.

Having already figured in Europe for Liverpool this season, the 19-year-old is eager to continue his push for more first-team action.

"I've enjoyed it, it's been a long time coming," Kelly told liverpoolfc.tv. "I enjoyed it to come on and it was a special moment for me.

"I think if the manager gives you a chance, you've got to play as well as you can and you can't look out of place or the next thing you know your chance has gone. You've got to take your chances."
