Liverpool youngster drops hint over future after stunning goal secures European football

Liverpool loanee Leighton Clarkson has added another eyecatching moment to his growing portfolio on loan at Aberdeen as boss Barry Robson hailed the midfielder.

He made it five league goals for the season, scoring for the first time since the Scottish Premiership split, in the Dons' comfortable 3-0 win over St Mirren. The 21-year-old put the hosts in front inside 15 minutes with an expertly crafted free-kick leaving opposition goalkeeper Trevor Carson no chance.

From a tight angle on the left side of the 18-yard box, the Reds youngster curled over the four-man wall into the top corner for his sixth Aberdeen goal in all competitions. At the beginning of the campaign, he opened his account for the Scottish side against Wednesday's opponents before doubling his account with an exquisite match-winning free-kick against St Johnstone.
