Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers praises his side's "composure" after they come from behind to beat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup fifth round.

Brendan Rodgers has praised Liverpool for showing "composure" during their FA Cup fifth-round win over Crystal Palace.

The Reds were a goal down at the break, but second-half efforts from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana ensured that they progressed courtesy of a2-1 win.

Rodgers said as his post-match press conference: "I thought we were outstanding. After that first goal that they scored, I thought the team was very good.

"It was certainly a different feeling to when we were here before. I think you saw the confidence in the team and the composure today.

"The players turned it around. We just felt at half time that we were creating enough chances. I felt we needed to be more aggressive. We started the game not as aggressively as we would have wanted. I thought the players showed great composure and great character in that second half."

Liverpool will find out who they will face in the quarter-finals when the draw takes place on Monday.
