Liverpool hero Molby delighted for Rossiter over goalscoring debut

Liverpool hero Jan Molby was delighted for Jordan Rossiter over his goalscoring debut this week.

Rossiter struck in the Capital One Cup win over Middlesbrough.

Molby wrote in the Liverpool Echo: "There aren't many things better than seeing a young player enjoying his football. So to watch Jordan Rossiter's Liverpool debut on Tuesday night was especially enjoyable.

"I'll never forget my first professional game, for Ajax against Go Ahead Eagles. I scored that day, the fourth in a 4-1 win and it was my 'World Cup final' moment. I'm sure it was the same for young Jordan on Tuesday.

"Whatever else happens in the lad's career, that moment will never be taken away from him. I thought both he and Jordan Williams, the other debutant, acquitted themselves very well on the night."
