Adam Lallana feels Liverpool got back to their hard-working ways on the weekend.

The Reds arrested a three-game winless run to defeat the high-flying league leaders Leicester City 1-0 at Anfield on Saturday and midfielder Lallana says it was a fighting performance married with inspiring words from manager Jurgen Klopp which sparked the return to winning form.

"The manager said before the game that maybe we needed to get back to fighting and working hard a bit more and the quality would come naturally, and I think you saw that out there," he told the club's official website.

"We all covered every blade of grass and the goal was eventually going to come – and it did.

"It was a big win. We've had a few difficult results lately and we wanted to put on a good performance – not just get the result – and I thought we did that."
