Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum: Beating Cardiff wasn't boring

Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum denies they found Cardiff City "boring" for victory on Saturday.

The Reds enjoyed a comfortable 4-1 win at Anfield.

“I don't want to say boring but it's, of course, more difficult than other games," said midfielder Wijnaldum.

“When you play a top team they will try to create chances so when you have the ball you will have more spaces. They will try to press you and maybe behind the guy that will press there will be space.

“But, with Cardiff, they don't really press, they were marking the spaces and they had wingers who were like a left-back and right-back.

“It was difficult and we managed to score four goals so it was a good result."
