Rodgers thrilled as 'convincing' Liverpool outplay Swansea

Brendan Rodgers felt his Liverpool side were 'convincing' and 'exciting' in their comfortable win over Swansea City at Anfield.

The Reds defeated Garry Monk's Swans 4-1 on Monday night thanks to a first-half strike from Alberto Moreno, a brace from Adam Lallana and an own-goal from former midfielder Jonjo Shelvey.

After the match, Rodgers spoke highly of the performance of his team who are now just five points off the top four courtesy of a second win on the trot.

"For me it was about getting back to performing well and getting ideas that will help the players play how we want to play," the Liverpool boss told BBC Sport.

"We were convincing. We have to keep that intensity and work-rate. It was a great performance against a very good side.

"I felt for the big part of the game we dominated. We gave away a poor goal and it goes to 2-1 and they almost score again straight after so that is a frustration.

"But apart from that spell the work-rate was outstanding and we were really exciting going forward."
