Liverpool's two goal Xherdan Shaqiri was delighted with his role after their 3-1 win over Manchester United.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after the final whistle, the Switzerland international explained how he used his natural disappointment with being a substitute as motivation to influence the outcome when he got a chance.

“Every player is not happy when he is on the bench, that's pretty normal. But only 11 players can play – the coach decides," said Shaqiri to liverpoolfc.com.

“I always try to make an impact when I come on or play from the beginning. Today was a very good impact with the two goals, I'm delighted."

He added: “It was an amazing win and important, too. We played very well. In the second half, we did more than Manchester United – we tried and tried. In the end, we fully deserved to win this game.

“When you see the statistics, we did everything in this game to win. It was very intense and we kept the high intensity in this game. It was an important win and a nice win against Manchester United."
