Former Liverpool fullback Jose Enrique praised Jordan Henderson for his performance in their Champions League defeat of RB Leipzig.

Liverpool won the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie 2-0.

Enrique said of Henderson: “Keeping the clean sheet is key because at the end, with the people we have up front, I believe we're always going to have chances and be able to score so this is key.

"Jordan Henderson or Fabinho, when they've been playing there, they are outstanding, even if it's not their position. Hendo again yesterday was unbelievable. Whenever he plays you know he's going to perform and keeping a clean sheet against a very good side like that is key."

On the second leg, Enrique added: "We play at home but we still have to be careful with that because it's not at home really [because of no fans] and if they score early, they just need one more goal. But if Liverpool play at their highest level I believe they can test anyone."
