Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers feels Lazar Markovic is beginning to show his class.

The Serb was outstanding in midweek for victory at Capital One Cup opponents Bournemouth.

Rodgers said: "Playing in that role (against Bournemouth) he was outstanding; he was defensively good and pressed the ball at almost all of the right times, so tactically he was very good.

"And with the ball his speed and movement was excellent. He has got good quality and is a good footballer. It is pleasing. At 20 years of age, he looks like he is improving all the time."
