James Balagizi enjoyed helping Liverpool U18s to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup by scoring a hat-trick in Friday's 5-1 victory at Leicester City.
The 17-year-old had a night to remember in the fourth round of the competition, with Max Woltman also netting twice in a convincing away win for the young Reds, who will host Arsenal in the last eight.
“I’m so happy to have helped the team which is the most important thing, first and foremost,” Balagizi told Liverpoolfc.com.
“On a personal note it was great to get the hat-trick and it’s a nice feeling.
