Adam Lallana praises Liverpool fans during Manchester City win

Jordan Henderson rifled in an early opener and Philippe Coutinho provided the winner in the 75th minute after Edin Dzeko had brought City level.

The three points keep the Reds in the race for a top-four finish - sitting two points behind rivals Manchester United - and playmaker Lallana believes the Anfield faithful played a huge part against title contenders City.

Lallana said: "The fans were great today, they got behind us and I think they knew that we needed that little bit extra from them. 

"It helps, it keeps you driving on and we thoroughly deserved the win. The reaction from the fans and the players on the back of that win meant a lot to us.

"It's a little statement out there to the Premier League that we're playing well and we've got the momentum."

The England international added: "We're looking at the next game, Burnley, already.

"It's not going to be easy - they are fighting for their lives down at the bottom and Sean Dyche has done a great job. 

"They gave us a tough game at Turf Moor earlier in the season. Our only focus is on that game now and picking up three points."
