Liverpool debutant realises 15-year dream as Diogo Jota sends message
Conor Bradley admitted he achieved a lifelong dream during Liverpool's win over Bournemouth.
The Reds claimed a 4-0 victory over the Cherries in the Premier League clash at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday. The win saw Jurgen Klopp's team move five points clear ahead of Manchester City at the top of the table having played one game more.
