Liverpool captain Henderson: Our late, late wins down to the manager

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson says their late, late shows are down to the manager.

The Reds have become famous for their injury-time winners this season.

"That mentality and resilience within us this season has been massive," Henderson told Sky Sports.

"I feel that's something the manager tried to instil in the squad when he first came in. When he first arrived, I remember him talking about never stopping and never changing your mentality within a game.

"I remember him saying right from the very beginning, no matter what the score, to keep going until the very end as you never know what can happen in football. If I look back at the games he's been here I think of the game against Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League.

"I feel it's been a progression over a few years and not just one season. This year has been massive in terms of how consistent we've been, but I feel it's been a work in progress and now it's just part of our identity to never change the mentality until the game is finished."
