ReactionWataru Endo: I'm so happy to score my first Liverpool goal
Wataru Endo reflected on a special feeling after scoring his first Liverpool goal against Toulouse on Thursday night.
The Reds secured an impressive 5-1 victory at Anfield in Group E, with Endo getting on the scoresheet for the first time since making the switch to Merseyside in the summer.
Goals from Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Ryan Gravenberch and Mohamed Salah either side of the midfielder's precise header sealed the win on a night the No.3 says he will remember for a long time.
"I'm so happy to win this game and of course my first goal here too," Endo told Liverpoolfc.com post-match. "It was an amazing atmosphere when I scored.
"I'm so happy to score my first goal for Liverpool, especially at Anfield, it was an amazing experience for me. I just try to do my best in every game whether I start or not. I did and I'm just so happy to get the goal tonight."
