Liverpool loanee Conor Bradley continued his fine start to life with League One outfit Bolton Wanders by firing a spectacular maiden goal for the club during Tuesday's 5-1 EFL Cup triumph over Salford City.
Handed a much-needed rest after a pulsating start to his season-long loan at the University of Bolton stadium, the Northern Irishman was summoned from the bench by manager Ian Evatt with 15 minutes of the contest remaining. However, less than 120 seconds after his introduction, Bradley opened his account in senior football with a sublime 25-yard strike into the top corner after receiving the ball in an advanced central-midfield position.
Turning impressively as the ball was played into his feet, the young full-back evaded a challenge from a Salford midfielder and drove into the acres of space before firing a Steven Gerrard-esque strike from range, which flew past goalkeeper Tom King into the top corner. That was the fourth Bolton goal on a night that did not go to plan for Salford - who are co-owned by Gary Neville and a number of ex-Manchester United stars.
