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."
