486 out of 546 teams in PL history have ended the season with fewer points than Liverpool have after 26 games, including **for the first time in this seemingly endless thread** a PL title winning side: Manchester United in 1996-97
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson talking to Sky Sports: "They caused us a few problems but overall I thought it was another good performance and we got the goal to get us the three points.
"I managed to go a little bit further forward once Fabinho came on. They are dangerous on the counter-attack so you've got to be aware of protecting against that too. I had a few half chances to assist or get a goal but it was tough conditions today, we've got to be delighted with the result.
"When it's windy it always affects the game, but its the same for both teams, you've just to get on with it. There's still things we can improve. We've got to get ready for another big game in midweek now.
"You're probably bored of me saying it but we're one step closer, it's just about focusing on the next game. We've just got to keep doing what we've been doing all season, never change that."
Liverpool forward Sadio Mane speaking to Sky Sports: "It was not easy because as a football player you want to play all the time. I go for treatment, work hard and come back and in the same time I saw the team and the boys doing a great job."
Did he foul Christoph Zimmermann in the build-up to the goal? "I don’t think so. A little push is normal in football."
On closing in on the Premier League title: "It was the target from the beginning and we are doing very well. We will do everything possible as a team to carry on the same way."
