Morgan: I'm over the moon
Liverpool youngster Adam Morgan was 'over the moon' to score his first senior goal for the club during the 1-1 friendly draw with Toronto.
The 18-year-old scored the Reds' equaliser against the Major League Soccer side at the Rogers Centre to take full advantage of the chance handed to him by Brendan Rodgers.
"I can't describe it, I've been dreaming of it for my whole life," Morgan told Liverpoolfc.com straight after the match. "I know it's only pre-season and it was a tap-in but they all count. I'm over the moon to have scored it."
Morgan played the whole of the second half in Canada, as Rodgers selected two different sides for each period, and now cannot wait for the second game of the tour against Roma next week.
He added: "Obviously it's about getting the minutes now and I'm looking forward to Wednesday's game."
New boss Rodgers is keen to give some of the club's young stars an opportunity to impress during the three-game tour of North America and Canada, with Morgan joined by the likes of Jordan Ibe, Raheem Sterling and Suso against Toronto.
The England youth international revealed just how much he has enjoyed the trip across the Atlantic so far and thanked Rodgers for putting faith in him.
"The experience has been great," the Scouser continued. "I want to thank the manager and his backroom staff for trusting me to come in and come to pre-season in America, I've loved every minute from start to finish and that just topped it off."
Morgan also explained that his goal had extra personal meaning for his family, some of whom were in attendance at the match, and said the strike was a tribute to his grandmother.
The striker concluded: "My dad would have cried at that goal because he wants me to do it just as much as I do, and that goal was for him and my family. My nan passed away a short while ago and that was for her."
