Liverpool veteran James Milner says everybody is happy when Takumi Minamino scores.

The Japan international scored a brace to help Liverpool overcome Norwich City in the FA Cup fifth-round on Wednesday.

Quizzed about Minamino, the Reds vice-captain told ITV: "He's a great guy. What a guy, what a player.

"He's been patient. Obviously with the players we have, there's competition all over the field. But every time he comes in, he's ready and he delivers. He's such a nice guy. You're delighted for him every time he scores.

"He just carries on. Every single day he's at that level. He's brilliant in training, [has a] great temperament no matter what's happening, you can rely on him.

"He comes in and keeps scoring goals – and important goals as well. Absolutely delighted for him to get those two."
