Liverpool captain ​Henderson happy to contribute on the scoresheet

Jordan Henderson is happy to chip in with goals whenever he can.

The Reds captain and central midfielder is not known for his goal scoring prowess.

But he was on the scoresheet as his side rallied from a goal down to defeat Tottenham at the weekend in the Premier League.

Speaking about the game and his contribution, Henderson told reporters:

"It was obviously nice to score and get us back in the game. I'm delighted to contribute but to get the win was obviously the most important thing so, overall, very pleased.

"I don't really care who scores goals as long as we win. People will analyse and say we want more goals from midfield but ultimately if the forwards score the goals then what does it matter?

"As long as we win games, the midfielders can contribute in other ways throughout the game. It's not always goals.

"Now and again it's nice to get on the scoresheet, but for us it's about performance, it's about working together as a team, and it doesn't matter who scores."
