Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson insisted the "job is only half done" after the Reds' 2-0 win over RB Leipzig on Tuesday gave them a commanding lead in their Champions League last-16 tie. Goals by Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in a five-minute spell early in the second half sealed Liverpool's first-leg victory in Budapest. "Overall, it was a pleasing performance, a good win but it is only half the job done," Henderson told BT Sport.
"We just wanted to keep going, keep fighting. We've had a lot of difficult situations throughout the season. "Tonight was a good step in the right direction, but we need to continue with that and if we do we'll get good results along the way." Liverpool bounced back from three straight Premier League defeats which have left them 13 points behind leaders Manchester City.
