Liverpool 2-0 Burnley
Liverpool
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, speaking to BT Sport: "It was the result we wanted. The performance was good at times. There are still places we can improve of course, but overall we’re delighted. The fans are back, we’re delighted to have them and it’s important we got the result.
"[The fans] keep you going at times. Burnley are a good side, we knew that before the game. They made it difficult with set-pieces in behind but I thought we dealt with that quite well and scored some good goals.
"I think the second goal is important. If it’s 1-0 in the last 10 minutes they could go long and it can be really difficult. The second goal was important for us to kill the game a little bit.
"Without the crowd it’s different. Football was totally different last season, not only at Anfield but in general. Now we have the fans back it’s a different ball game. Hopefully we can make it a fortress."
On Diogo Jota: "He has the magic touch. Around the box he’s lively. He’s been outstanding since he’s come in and hopefully he can continue."
