Jurgen Klopp put Conor Bradley in his first Premier League game for Liverpool against Bournemouth. He was superb in a 4-0 win at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.
Conor Bradley said that when Liverpool beat Bournemouth, he realized a dream that he had had for a long time.
When the two teams played in the Premier League on Sunday at the Vitality Stadium, the Reds won 4-0. With the win, Jurgen Klopp’s team moved five points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the table, even though City had played one more game.
Antwone and Diogo Jota both scored twice on the south coast. Bradley, who was playing in his first Premier League game, set up Jota’s second goal.
Bradley was put in at right back instead of the ill Trent Alexander-Arnold. He played for 83 minutes before Owen Beck came on with the score already 3-0. At age 20, Bradley has now started two games in a row for Liverpool. He was great in the first match of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham earlier this month.In an interview after the game at Bournemouth, the Northern Ireland player talked about what happened. He said that his goal to play in the Premier League has been a goal of his for 15 years.
“The team played really well,” Bradley told Sky Sports. It’s a tough place to play, so getting a 4-0 win on my first game is great. Keeping a clean sheet is also great, but getting three points is clearly the most important thing. Becoming a Premier League player has been a dream of mine since I was five years old, so it feels great.
In the chat, Bradley was joined by Jota, who was asked about the right back’s play. Jota then said something about Bradley’s cross, which led to his second goal of the game.
“Yeah, it was not a great cross [for the assist],” joked Jota. He went on: “But he’s played well in the Carabao Cup, now another great performance and a good performance from the team and all three points which is good.”
