Conor Bradley and Bobby Clark paid tribute to the travelling Liverpool supporters after Sunday's Emirates FA Cup win away at Arsenal.

More than 7,000 Reds made the trip to north London to see Jürgen Klopp's side book their place in the fourth round with a 2-0 victory against the Gunners.

Jakub Kiwior's own goal opened the game up 10 minutes from the end, with Luis Diaz sealing the win in stoppage time.

Both Bradley and Clark were brought on by Klopp for the final 15 minutes, with the Academy products each playing their part in the success.

Afterwards, the pair spoke to Liverpoolfc.com about the experience of winning such a big game in front of a jubilant away end.

"They were class," said a smiling Clark, who was making his first senior appearance of the season. "When that first goal went in, scenes!"

Bradley added: "They are unbelievable! The away fans are always top, brilliant."

Bradley had been brought on at right-back and the 20-year-old acquitted himself superbly against the lively Gabriel Martinelli.

"I just tried to force him inside," said the Northern Ireland international. "As soon as I came on, Trent told me to force him inside and he'll be there to cover me. So any time he tried to take me on, I just tried to do that. I think I did alright against him, so I'm happy!"

He continued: "Just buzzing to get on the pitch and help the team in any way I could. I'm just buzzing to get through to the next round. Brilliant."

Clark, too, was delighted as he reflected on just the third senior appearance of his young career.

"It's a great feeling," the teenager said. "Coming on with Conor, I've played with him for the Academy for a bit now, it's a good feeling.

"[Klopp] was just saying to do our defensive jobs well and be myself on the ball and express myself. They are all world-class players, so you've got to be switched on at all times."

He added: "There's been some really good results recently and again today, 2-0 at Arsenal away, it's obviously a great game."
