Jordan Henderson hailed the fighting spirit of the Liverpool team after they came back from a goal down to reach the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup after a 2-1 win over Stoke City on Wednesday night.

Kenny Dalglish’s charges claimed their first victory at the Britannia Stadium since 2000 after Luis Suarez netted twice to sink Tony Pulis’s side.

Henderson enjoyed an excellent 90 minute outing and gave the team great energy down the right hand side.

“I thought we started the game very well and created a lot of chances,” Henderson told Liverpoolfc.tv.

“Even when we went 1-0 down we didn’t give up and  we always knew we could come back strongly, and we are over the moon with the win.

“The first goal was just fantastic and a bit of brilliance from Luis, but we are used to that because we see it all of the time.”

Liverpool’s No.14 played a key role in the winning goal when his cross found the head of Suarez who buried the ball past Thomas Sorensen into the back of the net.

He added: “The finish was brilliant again from Luis. I just managed to knock the ball back in the box and he did the rest.”

After three ties away from home in the competition Liverpool now eagerly await Saturday’s draw, but Henderson prefers not to look too far ahead, and is just taking each game at a time.

“We are not bothered who we get, and we’ll wait for the draw and see what it gives us. We just want to go as far as we can in the competition.

“We now have an important game at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and that is our next concern getting the three points.”
