Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers praised matchwinner Raheem Sterling after victory at Burnley.

Sterling struck in the second-half to earn the three points for the Reds.

On Sterling's effort in rounding goalkeeper Tom Heaton, having failed against David de Gea from a similar situation at Old Trafford, Rodgers said: "It showed what a great learner he is.

"He is in a position now where he will receive a lot of opportunities in that kind of situation because of his pace.

"His pace will take him away from anyone and since that game he has gone away with the coaches and worked on that type of finish, both left side and right side.

"He showed great composure and a great ability to learn, to beat the keeper and finished it really well.

"His development and ability to want to be better has got us the three points."
