his appreciation to the fans at the end of the
Barclays Premier League match between
Crystal Palace and Liverpool at Selhurst Park
on March 6, 2016 in London, England.
Jordan Henderson believes the resilience
shown by Liverpool in their dramatic late win
at Selhurst Park was the perfect example of
Jurgen Klopp's impact at Anfield.
Christian Benteke's stoppage time penalty
sealed a comeback 2-1 win for Klopp's side.
The Reds battled back against from a goal
down with a man disadvantage, following
the dismissal of James Milner, for the first
time in their entire history.
The victory in South East London was the
10th time under Klopp Liverpool have come
from behind to avoid defeat – and the fifth
time they have gone on to win.
The club captain believes the never-say-die
attitude can be attributed to the man in the
dugout, citing the resilience Klopp has
installed into the team.
“It was a tough game, especially in the first
half when it was a battle,” Henderson told
Liverpoolfc.com.
“The second half didn’t start well and we
conceded a goal, but from then I thought we
grew in confidence, grew throughout the
game and in the end I thought we deserved
the three points with the chances we
created.
“It shows that we never give up and we
always go right until the end, which the
manager has drummed into us.
“Since he’s come in, I think that’s been one
of the big things for us, to keep going right
until the end no matter what the
circumstances are.
“I felt as though we did that, even when we
went 1-0 down and down to 10 men, we kept
going and we got better as the game went
on with the ball.
“We were moving it quicker, created chances
and, for me, we deserved to win.”
The victory handed the Reds three
consecutive league wins for the first time
this season, and puts them back into the
conversation about finishing in the top four.
Henderson admits his side took the
momentum of the 3-0 win over Manchester
City in midweek into the game at Selhurst
Park.
“It was a good performance from us in
midweek and it gave us a lot of confidence,”
he said.
“Coming here, we felt as though we could
win the game.
“We knew it would be difficult, which it was
at times, and we didn’t play some of our
best stuff, but at times we played very well
and managed to create some good chances.
“It was a good finish from Roberto and then
we created the chance for the penalty.
“Overall, it’s a very good day and we can
take a lot of confidence from it.”
