Liverpool striker Borini delighted with brace in victory over Man Utd U21s

Liverpool striker Fabio Borini was delighted with his brace in victory over Manchester United U21s.

The Italian scored twice as the Reds defeated United 4-2.

Borini said: "I enjoyed scoring the goals and playing 90 minutes again. The team has been great because they just take me in with them. I know it's not easy for them to get a player in at the last minute but they've been great and it's credit to the team.

"I've been training almost every day for two years. At Swansea, I took the free-kicks. Here I can take them. It's not Gerrard's or anyone else's. It was great to score from a free-kick.

"Since the Euros I've been playing well. It's been great to score the two goals and take them on board for the weekend."
