Liverpool captain Henderson enjoys Neville dig after goalscoring performance

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson enjoyed a dig at Manchester United legend Gary Neville after victory at Southampton.

Henderson struck in the 3-1 win and couldn't resist having a dig at Neville at the final whistle.

Neville revealed: “Jordan Henderson came over to me at the end of the game and said 'you don't look very happy'.

“And I said 'I'm not Jordan'.

"I feel cold [about title race] because I've not got a particular favourite between either side to win the title."

Henderson also stated: "We know every game is massive for us.

"We know we've got to win every game so tonight was another big game. I thought the lads showed great character in the first half under a little bit of pressure, to come out of that and to go in 1-1 at half-time I thought was good for us.

"And then to come out and win in the second half I thought was a big performance and a big result."

On his goal, Henderson added: "It was a big goal, I haven't got in those positions often this season because I've been playing a deeper role but I've had conversations with the manager. I thought I could affect things a little bit higher up and thankfully I've been able to affect things and contribute."
