Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson hailed the performance of Ibrahima Konate for victory at Manchester United.

Konate made only his third appearance since his £36million summer move from RB Leipzig as the Reds romped to an historic 5-0 Premier League win at Manchester United on Sunday.

Liverpool have yet to concede a goal with Konate in the side, and Reds captain Henderson said: "I thought he was outstanding.

"We've got a few very, very good centre-backs so it's difficult, but I thought he was top class.

“You've got to be to get a clean sheet at Old Trafford so I'm delighted for him and delighted for the team in terms of a clean sheet, I thought, was big for us and we need to keep that going.

“To concede two in midweek we were disappointed with after going 2-0 up, so we knew today we wanted to try to keep a clean sheet, which I thought was very good for us.

“And we obviously scored some amazing goals, which is what everybody wants to see as well."
