A number of Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Tyler Morton after the youngster’s Champions League display against AC Milan on Tuesday.

Jurgen Klopp’s side ended the group-stages with their six win in six. Mohamed Salah cancelled out Fikayo Tomori’s opener in the first-half inside San Siro. Divock Origi headed home the winner after the break.
