New Liverpool hero Conor Bradley left in sheer disbelief after match-winning performance in mauling of Chelsea

Bradley scored one and set up two more as the Reds ran rampant in a 4-1 win against Chelsea in the Premier League at Anfield on Wednesday. The 20-year-old right-back was the star of the show for the league leaders and he was in disbelief after the game.

"It's a very proud moment, something I dreamed of for a long time," he said to TNT Sports. "I feel like it's a dream. It's unbelievable. I just couldn't believe my goal went in. I didn't know what to do. I went over to the corner and did a knee slide. It was brilliant, so it was. It was unfortunate the way Trent got injured. I just had to try to take my chance. I feel I've done pretty well. [Klopp leaving was a] big shock to us all. It's giving us extra motivation."

Bradley has been the rising star for Jurgen Klopp's team in recent weeks. The midweek clash was just his second Premier League appearance, having grabbed an assist in their previous match against Bournemouth. The Chelsea thrashing comes just days after he registered two assists in the 5-2 win against Norwich in the FA Cup.

The Liverpool academy graduate may have just cemented a place in the starting XI under Klopp this season. He will hope that the German manager calls on him to start when the league leaders take on Arsenal on February 4.
