Liverpool ace Oxlade-Chamberlain proud to prove matchwinner against Genk

Liverpool ace Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was proud to prove the matchwinner in their 2-1 Champions League defeat of Genk.

Having scored twice in Belgium when Genk were beaten 4-1 on 23 October, Oxlade-Chamberlain was the matchwinner early in the second half, spinning and converting a low strike into the bottom corner.

Oxlade Chamberlain, who was wearing an ice pack around his ankle, said: "It's just a kick. Milly [Milner] has them every day and gets on with it! The player caught me nicely! It's a bit of a sore one but all good.

"I feel like I'm getting better with every game physically but I think there's more to come from me defensively and pressing with the right intensity.

"It takes a while to get that back but I think I'm getting better with that. I'm happy with how it's gone. It's important to get three points and push in the group. Overall, we're happy with three points."
