Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard couldn’t hide his pride for young striker Bobby Duncan.
The FA Youth Cup winner picked up his first senior minutes during the Reds 6-0 thrashing of Tranmere Rovers on Thursday night.
Duncan was called into action for the second half as Liverpool led 3-0 and soon added his name to the scoresheet.
After a jiving run into the box from Ki-Jana Hoever the 18-year-old forward scored his maiden goal for the first-team with a smart finish.
Duncan took to Instagram following the game to label his debut a "dream come true".

Another post shared by the forward read: "A day I always dreamed of. Making my Liverpool debut.
"A club that I have admired from a young boy and also supported all my life. Also delighted to top it of with a goal and a fantastic team performance. Ps hope my bro Paul Glatzel has a speedy recovery."
Duncan's iconic cousin had a special message in response, as the Rangers boss proudly commented: "Well done kid."
Gerrard is no doubt a huge source of inspiration and encouragement for the rising star who will have another chance to impress as Liverpool take on Bradford City this Sunday.
