Another dynamic midfield display from the captain was brought to an end when Jürgen Klopp replaced him with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 20 minutes from time at Turf Moor.

The substitution came shortly after Henderson had sustained a knock in a collision with Aaron Lennon, but the skipper insisted he is OK fitness-wise post-match.

“I was all right. I was fine, I don’t know, maybe the gaffer thought I was hobbling about a bit. But no, it’s fine,” Henderson said.

On the impressive manner of the victory against the Clarets, which took the Reds on to 12 points from four Premier League fixtures this term, the No.14 continued: “I thought we did the dirty bits really well.

“We worked extremely hard defensively to win second balls, which is important against Burnley. The two strikers [Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes] are really physical.

“I thought we coped with them really well. Going forward we looked good at times and scored some brilliant goals. It was a really good performance.”
