Red youngster reacts after helping his side book quarter-final place
Jayden Danns has claimed it was ‘a dream come true’ to score a brace in Liverpool’s 3-0 FA Cup win over Southampton.
On Wednesday night, the 18-year-old found the back of the net twice in the second-half – after Lewis Koumas had opened the scoring – to help wrap up the win.
Danns found the back of the net initially after being played through by Harvey Elliott and applying a neat chip over the Saints goalkeeper.
He doubled his tally shortly afterwards after pouncing on a loose ball and making no mistake in a first-time finish, which ensured the win for the hosts.
Speaking to ITV afterwards, Danns said: ‘It’s a dream come true, I’ve supported the club since birth so to come on and score at the Kop end was unreal.
‘It doesn’t feel real to me, it feels like I’m in a movie. I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight!’
‘The second one was pure joy, I didn’t think it would come to me. I was happy with one, but when two come I just went sliding. I lost all composure.
‘[My dad, Neil] said last time when I made my debut he was crying so I don’t know what he’s going to be doing now.
‘He’s in the stands watching and so is my mum, brother, sister and nan. It’s unbelievable.’
It’s been a whirlwind week for Danns, who made his first-team debut seven days ago and has played at Wembley in a cup final, as well as his FA Cup heroics.
Afterwards, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp compared Danns, and the rest of Liverpool’s young team, with darts World Championship runner-up Luke Littler.
‘It is a little bit like the new darts sensation, it is fine for tonight,’ said Klopp.
‘Tomorrow, leave the boys in the corner. Everyone who is with us, we should have our moments, they will have more moments than we expect.
‘Exceptional talents, of course it is not natural that a boy aged 18 is as calm as you like.
‘The second goal, calm as you like, he saw when Conor (Bradley) shot that the goalie cannot take it.
‘Don’t forget it when the transfer window opens, don’t (ask for) 12 signings!’

Diogo Jota scored the 50th goal of his Liverpool career to seal a 2-0 win at Burnley on Boxing Day.
Jota had missed Liverpool’s previous eight games with a hamstring injury but he looked sharp after coming off the bench in the 84th minute at Turf Moor.
The Portugal forward came on for Darwin Nunez, who had earlier fired the Reds into a sixth-minute lead with a low strike from 20 yards.
Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott had goals disallowed before Jota wrapped up a deserved away victory in added time.
Jota collected a neat pass from Luis Diaz before drilling a low shot past James Trafford from a narrow angle.
Burnley keeper Trafford had earlier proven difficult to beat, making eight saves.
Liverpool’s win on Boxing Day took Jurgen Klopp’s men top of the Premier League table.
But Arsenal can regain top spot by beating West Ham on Thursday night.

It Doesn’t Look Good’: Klopp Provides Update on Joel Matip’s Injury Situation, Confirms He Will be out for a long time
‘It Doesn’t Look Good’: Klopp Provides Update on Joel Matip’s Injury Situation, Confirms He Will be out for a long time
After Joel Matip hobbled off the field during Liverpool’s 4-3 victory over Fulham on Sunday, manager Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool has expressed concerns that the player may be out for an extended period of time.
Midway through the second half at Anfield, the center back grabbed his right knee and was quickly replaced by Ibrahima Konate.
Regarding Matip’s possible layoff, Klopp acknowledged after the game that it was unlikely to be a “short one,” but he did not provide a more upbeat update on Tuesday before Liverpool’s trip to Sheffield United tomorrow.
“It appears unfavorable,” stated Klopp. “The scan is not yet complete.” We’re not sure how long.
Better news for supporters of Liverpool was that two more players were nearing full fitness.
Jurgen Klopp has suggested Matip is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines
In Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City, Diogo Jota and Alisson both sustained injuries, but Klopp indicated they are getting closer to joining the team again.
Yesterday, Jota was jogging outside. He is not participating in team training, but everything is moving in the correct manner, Klopp continued.
“Alisson will not be involved tomorrow, but he is closer.”
Liverpool’s backup goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher struggled against Fulham in Alisson’s absence, giving up three goals
However, Klopp claimed he has no reservations about Kelleher’s ability and refused to place responsibility on the goalkeeper.
“I believe he performed admirably [against Fulham], but we give up two goals,” he remarked.
“Harry Wilson was not a fortunate one.” We are front-footed goalkeepers, according to Ali and our goalkeeping coach in the second one. Such incidents occur; they have nothing to do with quality; rather, they stem from philosophical issues.
Klopp has given Caoimhin Kelleher his backing after he had a difficult game against Fulham

Liverpool star Alexander-Arnold facing possible ‘punishment’ after comments in Man City draw
Liverpool star Alexander-Arnold facing possible ‘punishment’ after comments in Man City draw and intentionally provoke fans
Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold could face FA disciplinary action for his comments after his side’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City, a report has claimed.
The Reds defender equalised in the second half with a low driven shot from 20 yards past Ederson, and was awarded the player of the match award by Sky Sports.
The result did drop Liverpool to third, but the general consensus was that it was a point gained for Jurgen Klopp’s side against the team that could end up being their title rivals this term.
Alexander-Arnold celebrated his goal by ‘shushing’ the City supporters. When asked why he did it after the match, he simply said because it was ‘funny’.
But as per The Sun, the Liverpool defender’s admission that he performed the celebration in front of City fans on purpose could land him in trouble with the FA.
The laws of the game state that any player must be shown a yellow card if they are found to have been ‘gesturing or acting in a provocative, derisory or inflammatory way’ towards members of the crowd.
However, referee Chris Kavanagh did not book the Liverpool defender for his celebration, and it is unclear whether he saw it happen.
The Sun add, however, that Alexander-Arnold would likely be warned about his future conduct if the FA were to take any action, and there were no particular appeals for sanction after the incident happened live.
