Georginio Wijnaldum insists there was no lack of support for Adam Lallana in the Liverpool dressing room after he squandered a gilt-edged late chance to sink Manchester City in Sunday's 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium.

The Dutchman said: "At the end I think you must be satisfied, even though we didn't score a (winning) goal.

"I am a little bit disappointed at 1-0 we didn't score the chances we had. Also at 1-1 we had a big chance with Adam Lallana but unfortunately he didn't touch the ball.

"He said, 'I'm sorry, I have to score it,' but no-one blames him. We all know he wants to score and anyone can have those moments in a game. It can happen.

"He helped us a lot this game, he played a good game, intercepted a lot of balls, so there is no point in blaming him.

"There were moments in the game that were frustrating but in the end I think you must be happy they didn't score the two chances they had."
