Daniel Sturridge: It was down to us to improve - and we did
The Reds ran out 5-0 victors in their first EFL Cup outing of the season as Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi netted, the No.15 bagged a brace, and Tom Naylor put through his own goal.
Success at the Pirelli Stadium secured a place in the competition's third round for Jürgen Klopp's team, as well as providing the perfect tonic after the loss at the weekend.
And, speaking after the game, Sturridge acknowledged the importance of being able to quickly move on.
"It was a great team performance and it's good to get the victory," he told Liverpoolfc.com.
"It was down to us to get the result, down to us to go out there and improve on what we did at the weekend and we did that."
