Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever - not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together.
To my @afcbournemouth teammates who supported me in that moment, to the @LiverpoolFC players and fans who showed their true character, to the @premierleague officials who handled it professionally - thank you. Football showed its best side when it mattered most.
Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play - for moments like these, for my teammates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be.
The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together. 🙏🏾⚽

I'm lucky enough to have come across some special people in my career, but no one is quite like you @AileenWhelan 🤍
I'm so grateful to have played a small part in your footballing story, as you have been such a huge part in mine!
Enjoy your family time, you deserve it x
So so proud of you 💙
No one will understand the impact you have on a dressing room unless they’ve felt it themselves! Truly inspirational and I’ve been so proud to be your biggest fan these last few years ☺️ so excited for you and your next chapter!
