The 20-year old Northern Ireland international came on in the 76th minute at the Emirates and was tasked with containing the lively Gabriel Martinelli.
Conor Bradley, a player for Northern Ireland, was “buzzing” after contributing to Liverpool’s victory over Arsenal during their FA Cup third-round match on Sunday at the Emirates.
With the match locked at 0-0, the Tyrone native came off the replacements bench in the 76th minute and was entrusted with keeping the energetic Gabriel Martinelli quiet.
Speaking to the team’s official website, the right-back said it was “brilliant” to play his part. The cameo drew praise from fans as Jurgen Klopp’s team secured their spot in the fourth round.
“I’m eager to get onto the pitch and support the squad in any way I can. I can’t wait to move on to the next round. Magnificent,” Bradley smiled.
“All I attempted to do was push Martinelli inside. Trent told me to push him inside and he’d be there to cover me as soon as I came on. I simply tried to do that whenever he attempted to challenge me. I’m glad I think I handled myself against him okay.
Bradley began his tenure with Liverpool in September 2019 after joining from Dungannon United, and he inked a new long-term contract with the team back in December.
