Jordan Henderson was quick to bat away the attention coming his way for his excellent form, insisting Liverpool’s cause is far more important.
The captain was on the scoresheet in Saturday’s 4-0 victory over Southampton when he calmly finished in front of the Kop to add the Reds’ second of the afternoon.
The No.14, who also provided the assist for Mohamed Salah’s first goal, was given a standing ovation from Anfield as he was replaced by Adam Lallana for the final few minutes.
However, he was quick to deflect the post-match praise onto his teammates.
“I’m enjoying this season, we’ve put in some really good performances,” Henderson told Liverpoolfc.com. “Everybody is enjoying their football but it’s also about the work ethic and giving everything for each other – and that’s the most important thing to me.
“Just give everything you can for your teammates, which we have been doing. If you do that then you get your rewards at the end.
“For us, we just need to continue that, give everything we can right until the end of the season and then see where we are.
“It’s always nice to get a goal, especially at Anfield of course. But the most important thing was the three points of course.
“The goals are important obviously and we scored some really good goals in the second half.
“Delighted with performance in the end, especially in the second half. Some really good goals and we’ve got to be delighted with the three points.”
Henderson was put in a position to score by a fine cut-back from Roberto Firmino after he evaded the offside trap when Trent Alexander-Arnold punted the ball up the field.
