Ings: First Liverpool goal a massive moment

Danny Ings described his first Liverpool goal as a "massive moment" and is hopeful it can prove a springboard for a fruitful Anfield career.

The striker joined Liverpool on a free transfer upon the expiry of his contract at Burnley earlier this month and opened his account in third pre-season match in Monday's 2-0 win over Adelaide United.

"It was a massive moment for me because moving to a new club it can take a little while to settle in," he told Liverpool's official website.

"I felt in previous games I've been lashing at a couple of chances but I thought I took that goal well.

"When you come to a club like Liverpool, the sheer size of it, it's a big deal. I'm just delighted that I've got my first goal now and hopefully I can build on that and get many more."

"On a personal level, hopefully I can get as much football as I can, score as many goals for the team as I can and be successful as a team," he added.

"It's not an individual game, it's a team game and I think with the players we've got and the staff we've got we can go a long way."
