Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson says there's room to improvement after their 3-0 defeat of Southampton.

Henderson insists the team are not getting carried away and he's identified problems at the back and up front to remedy.

"I thought we were good," Henderson said. "The first half defensively we gave them too many opportunities.

"Overall it was a solid performance and a good win and we knew it would be difficult."

Southampton had their fair share of chances before the interval while Jurgen Klopp's side were clinical in front of goal.

"It felt the first half they had a few half-chances," Henderson added.

"We didn't want to give them anything and to have a clean sheet.

"Maybe we could have had one or two more but we just wanted three points on the board."
