Liverpool youngster Jayden Danns full of pride after FA Cup brace

Liverpool youngster Jayden Danns could not hide his delight at scoring twice for the club in the FA Cup.

Danns netted two goals in a vital 3-0 win over Southampton to move into the quarter finals.

As they set up a date with Manchester United, Danns admits he and his fellow youngsters are so pleased to get a chance to shine on the senior stage.

"It's a dream come true," Danns told ITV Sport post-match.

"I've supported the club since I was young, since birth, so to come on and score at the Kop end – it's unreal. It doesn't feel real to me. It feels like I'm in a movie. I don't think I'll sleep tonight."

"Obviously it was [Harvey Elliott] who slipped me in," Danns added.

"I've just seen him and I thought he's got the vision to make it.

"The goalkeeper came close and when he comes that close you have to dink it. The second one was just pure joy. I didn't think it would come to me. I was happy with one but when two came I just went sliding [and] as you've seen I lost all composure."
