Ben Doak sends six-word message after sensational display for Liverpool U21s

Liverpool starlet Ben Doak has posted a cheeky message after his inspirational performance in the U21s emphatic win over Leicester City.

The 17-year-old scored two and played a role in five goals as the Reds fired seven past the Foxes. It was the Scottish youngster's second game back since he missed a number of weeks through injury.

Prior to his absence, Doak emerged as a selection candidate for Jurgen Klopp's senior side and made five appearances in the first-team, with outings in the Premier League as well as the domestic cup competitions.

In a post on his Instagram story tonight, Doak was basking in an impressive showing for the U21s.

He said: "Not a bad day at the office," accompanied by a smiling face with open mouth emoji.

It was an impressive brace for the youngster as he headed Barry Lewtas' side back in front from Dominic Corness' corner. He then turned poacher to turn in Harvey Blair's cross.

That would've capped his afternoon by securing his hat-trick. However, he was denied a treble when Chituru Odunze was credited with an own goal after Doak went on one of his trademark runs before cutting inside and firing goalwards only for it to crash off the post, inadvertently hitting the goalkeeper's head on the way in.

The win over Leicester excited Liverpool fans ahead of the evening kick-off against Crystal Palace as a potential Doak conundrum emerges for the Liverpool boss ahead of the visit of Wolves on Wednesday, which clashes with the UEFA Youth League.
