The Brazilian scored Liverpool's first as the Reds beat non-leaguers Havant & Waterlooville 5-2 in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

"I'm really happy because I have been trying to get my first goal," said Lucas.

"It's funny because on Friday I was having shots in training and I scored some goals and some of the players were telling me I would score the next day, and I did.

"It was a beautiful moment for me and I would like to dedicate the goal to my family because they are always right behind me.

"It was a special moment for me because I became the first Brazilian to score for Liverpool so I'm really, really happy.

"I'm not playing all that much but I am trying and hopefully I will get more opportunities."
