Lovren admits Liverpool relief after dramatic Cup win

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren admitted relief after their Capital One Cup win over Swansea City.

Lovren is looking for the Reds to take heart from their late win over Swansea on Tuesday night, hailing it as "a big result for the players".

"It was a great feeling to score at the end.

"It was a relief because we deserved a win. When I saw the statistics, they had five shots on goal and we had 20, so we completely deserved the win.

"It was definitely a big result for the players. We need to continue like this now. We cannot relax now.

"We have games which will be tough - Newcastle, Real Madrid, Chelsea. We know what we can expect and we need to play our game."
