Liverpool midfielder Lallana delighted with role in victory over Burnley

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana was delighted with his role in victory over Burnley on Sunday.

Lallana came back into the starting XI for the Premier League clash, which the Reds ultimately won through braces by Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

Lallana played a key role in the first two goals, with the hosts having fallen behind to Ashley Westwood's opener, and provided an industrious presence in the centre of the pitch.

“It has been a difficult 18 months to two years for me with injuries, but hopefully that's behind me now," Lallana told BT Sport post-match.

“I just want to keep working hard and contribute to what will be an exciting end to the season.

“It helps when you can be fit consistently, I've not had that over the last couple of years. It was a good game and I enjoyed being out there."
