'He can be a match-winner'
Lucas Leiva believes Glen Johnson's dramatic Stamford Bridge strike showed the right-back is back to his very best - and claims the England man is capable of scoring many more match-winners in the future.
The Reds No.2 fired against his old club to hand Kenny Dalglish's side a vital three points, and the Brazilian thinks the goal was a reward for Johnson's hard work since returning from injury.
"Johnno (Johnson) has been suffering from injuries in the last few months but he is fit again now and his confidence is back, and we are all happy for him," said Lucas.
"We know he is capable of doing that and he scored what turned out to be a very important goal.
"We are really pleased with our performance, especially the first half when we did very well.
"They changed their system in the second half and we lost a bit of momentum when they equalised, but we kept going and got the second goal we were aiming for."

Lucas also spoke of his blossoming midfield partnership with Charlie Adam after the Liverpoolfc.tv Man of the Match turned in a superb display - playing a key role in both goals.
He added: "Charlie is an offensive player and you could see his quality with the pass he gave for Glen to score.
"There are a lot of new players in this team and it does take a bit of time for everyone to get used to each other's style of play.
"I am really enjoying playing alongside Charlie. I try to give him the licence to go forward and make a key pass. When we need to defend he is always back to help me and the more games we play together, the better we will be."
