"Mind-blowing performance yet again", "We are blessed" - Fans hails Liverpool star's 'MOTM' performance in 5-2 win over Norwich City
Liverpool fans on X waxed lyrical about Conor Bradley after he impressed during their 5-2 win against Norwich City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on January 28.
Bradley made his eighth appearance of the season in all competitions after he was included in the starting XI at right-back. Anfield came to life in the 16th minute when Curtis Jones broke the deadlock with a sharp header.
Ben Gibson leveled the scores six minutes later but Bradley played a pass into the path of Darwin Nunez who netted in the 28th minute. Diogo Jota (53') and Virgil van Dijk (63') netted one goal apiece to give Liverpool a dominant lead.
Borja Sainz scored a screamer from distance in the 69th minute to give Norwich hope. However, the Reds went on to seal the win in the 95th minute. Luis Diaz crossed the ball across the box to Conor Bradley. The 20-year-old expertly volleyed the ball against the ground, across the face of goal, allowing Ryan Gravenberch to head home.
The Northern Ireland international had a phenomenal game, providing two assists. He also completed 77 out of his 84 passes with an accuracy of 92 percent, created three big chances, made four recoveries, and won six duels.
One fan hailed his potential, posting:
"The heights that Conor Bradley can reach are SCARY. Mind blowing performance yet again, MOTM is deserved"
