They were relentless! Rodgers praises Liverpool squad for bouncing back after Europe exit
BRENDAN RODGERS has praised his Liverpool squad for bouncing back after their Europa League exit by defeating Manchester City 2-1.
Liverpool lost to Besiktas on penalties on Thursday but recovered to defeat City a matter of days later.
I have to take my hat off to players
Two stunning curling efforts from Jordan Henderson and Philippe Coutinho ensured victory for the home side.
"I have to take my hat off to players," said Rodgers.
"To get back at half four in the early hours of Friday morning – by the time they got to bed it was six, and they had to sleep all of Friday.
"We then did some light work yesterday, but to come out and play like they did, they were relentless."
