“I thought it was an excellent win,” Rodgers said after the game.
“You only need to look at Fulham’s record, how hard they have been to beat, especially against big teams.
“We scored two goals of great quality. The first one we won the ball back and it’s a brilliant cross. We’re delighted for Kels.
“The second was a different type, with good possession, played quickly, and then there’s the left-back getting up there to support with good energy.”
