Liverpool boss Rodgers delighted with Sterling development

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is happy with the development of Raheem Sterling.

Sterling struck in their rout of Norwich City in midweek.

"Raheem is still only a very young player," said Rodgers. "I thought his finish on Wednesday night was excellent. It probably got lost in and amongst Luis' goals and his assist.

"But we've just encouraged the front players to take more of a risk and get into the box. It was a wonderful finish off his left side. We mustn't forget that he's a boy of 18 years of age, who is developing all the time.

"The spell out of the team doesn't do him any harm. He's learning from very good players here and he knows that when he goes into the side, the confidence of the manager and his teammates is there to go and perform."
