Liverpool were never in any real trouble against MK Dons on Wednesday night, winning 2-0 and easing into the Carabao Cup fourth round.
James Milner and Ki-Jana Hoever found the net for the Reds, who progress to this stage of the competition for the first time since 2016.
A brilliant video has emerged showing a young fan running onto the pitch after the final whistle, hoping to meet his Liverpool heroes.
He ends up getting the shirt of impressive debutant Harvey Elliott, much to the joy of those recording the footage.
These supporters have reacted to the video on Twitter, with most loving what what they saw.

I take it that the stewards were on their break?

There have been a few negative reactions to the footage, with some rightly asking where on earth the stewards were.
Some rivals fans were even legitimately calling for the young child to be banned for entering the pitch.
That is going laughably over the top, however, and this is a moment the boy will cherish for the rest of his life.
That shirt may be worth a few quid in years to come, considering Elliott’s vast potential.
