Liverpool boss Rodgers excited about wing pair Sterling, Ibe

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was delighted with his teenage wingers for victory over Indonesia.

Raheem Sterling and Jordan Ibe both shone in the 2-0 win.

"Raheem Sterling looked very sharp and young Jordon Ibe did really well, outstanding burst of pace to get away. He will have learned a lot being with the first-team players; in games like tonight he showed his football talent as well, it was a great pass inside at the right moment and Assaidi makes the square pass and we get the finish.

"It was a great counter-attacking goal. The control was good, the two central midfield players were excellent in Jordan Henderson and Joe Allen. Overall it was pleasing," Rodgers told LFC TV.
