Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers admits that he was delighted for Jordan Henderson after the midfielder scored his side's winning goal against Udinese on Thursday night.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he thinks midfielder Jordan Henderson has made a "good contribution" to the team in the past four weeks.

The former Sunderland player scored Liverpool's winning goal in their 1-0 victory over Udinese as they qualified for the knockout stages of the Europa League and Rodgers is delighted with the 22-year-old's recent performances.

Rodgers told reporters: "He is a great lad and works hard and has come in over the last month and made a good contribution to the team.

"It was a very good finish and he was unfortunate not to get a second goal as the goalkeeper made a wonderful save.

"He has that quality to arrive in the box and he has a finish in him so I am delighted for him and his hard work is paying off."

Thursday's goal was just Henderson's third in 65 appearances in a Liverpool shirt.
