Tiago Ilori was delighted with his Liverpool debut in their U21 win over Sunderland.

The defender arrived last month from Sporting Lisbon.

"I loved playing in the game and it was a great win," Ilori told the Liverpool Echo. "I hope I can carry on winning at Anfield. Every player wants to play whether it's in the first team or the reserves.

"I want to get as many minutes as I can. I didn't have a proper pre-season due to injuring my hand but it's good to be back fit now. I'm enjoying it here. Brendan Rodgers seems like a great guy and a great coach. I will do my best for the club."
