Brendan Rodgers, who was managing his first game as Liverpool manager, saw his side trail in the second half, after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Quincy-Amarikwa-c30220 put the home side ahead in the 58th minute. However, the lead was quickly expunged by the 18-year old, as he tapped
the ball in for an easy finish after tidy work from Raheem Sterling on the right flank to set up the goal.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Northern Irishman fielded different sides for either halves, and played Morgan for the entire second period.
Even though the goal carried little or no significance in terms of its value, the striker let out his elation on being able to get on the score sheet, and mentioned that scoring a goal in a Liverpool shirt was like a dream come true for him.
He told the reporters in an interview, “I can't describe it, I've been dreaming of it for my whole life. 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.”
Following their 1-1 draw on Saturday night, the Reds will now square off against AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 on the 25th of July at Fenway Park, and will play one more game against Tottenham Hotspur on the 28th, before their North American tour winds up.
Rodgers fielded a handful of young players in their tour opener, in order to gauge their potential ahead of the next season.
Morgan expressed his gratitude towards his manager for giving him an opportunity to prove his mettle, and set his focus on the remaining two games.
“The experience has been great. I want to thank the manager and his backroom staff for trusting me to come in and come to pre-season in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390, I've loved every minute from start to finish and that just topped it off.”
The striker then went on to dedicate his goal to his late grandmother and to his family, who were watching the game from the stands.
