Harvey Elliott's dad, Scott Elliott, has been speaking about the emotion of watching his son score his first goal for Liverpool and says it's something they've 'always dreamed about'.
The 18-year-old made a sensational return on Sunday after five months on the sidelines with a serious ankle injury.
Elliott has been out of action since September and he made an incredible comeback against Cardiff City as he netted his first senior goal for the club.
It was an emotional moment for the player, his family and everyone involved in his recovery and his father was captured in tears in the stands after the goal went in.

He's now been speaking about the goal and says it's something Elliott and his family have longed for.
“It’s something we’ve always dreamt about and I’m sure Harvey has," he told the KENN7 Official YouTube channel.
"From when he was very young practicing in the garden pre-academy, he’s always been a Liverpool fan and to score in front of the Kop, can you imagine that?
“He had a one in however many million chance of reaching that dream, it’s hard to put into words the actual feeling because it’s all a bit of a blur and it happened so quick and what he's doing was instinctive. You're not thinking about where you're putting it, it's turn and technique.
“When the goal went in, I saw the ball come down and as the defender slipped, he's controlled it and it was a great first touch. The way he swivelled and hit it, the balls nestled in the net.
"My first reaction then, for a second, is to look at the linesman to see if he has his flag up and he hasn’t!
“Even from where we were, you could see the passion in his face and you could see how much it meant to him and what he was feeling, was what I was feeling in the stands.
"People don't realise how tough the last five months have been."
Elliott documented his recovery process on social media, regularly providing supporters with updates on the progress made.
Now, he's set to play a part in the latter stages of the season as the Reds continue to fight on all four fronts with silverware up for grabs.
