Tyler Morton impressed on his first start of the season as Liverpool beat Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup on Wednesday night
If you were to ask Tyler Morton , he is likely to insist his appearance in Wednesday night's League Cup win over Brighton & Hove Albion was well worth the wait. After all, it was the 22-year-old's first competitive start in the competition for the Reds since December 2021; a night when Jurgen Klopp's side completed one of the most dramatic comebacks of his Anfield tenure by knocking Leicester City out of the same competition at the quarter-final stage.
One of those, of course, was for the game's opening goal when his cute clipped pass into the channel arrived in the stride of Gakpo, with the Dutchman subsequently cutting inside and firing past Jason Steele to put Slot's team on course for a third quarter-final appearance since 2021. Morton's delight was palpable at that point as he made a beeline to the Reds' No.18.
