Brendan Rodgers: 'Victory over Crystal Palace was well deserved'

Brendan Rodgers talks up Liverpool's "really good win" over Crystal Palace in the FA Cup fifth round as the Reds battle from behind to advance in the competition.

Brendan Rodgers has praised his Liverpool players for showing the mental strength required to see off Crystal Palace in their FA Cup fifth-round tie.

Selhurst Park has proved an unhappy hunting ground for the Reds over the past 12 months. They have suffered two crushing Premier League defeats there, with a 3-1 reverse earlier this campaign sending them to a fourth successive loss.

However, Liverpool will have happier memories of their latest visit to South London thanks to second-half goals from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana, which helped them to come from behind to edge past their opponents 2-1 this evening.

"It wasn't a good feeling the last time we were here in terms of our performance level," Rodgers is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "That was a real adverse moment for us and from that the team has got better.

"It was a really good win against a tough team today, but I thought we deserved the win. We started slowly but once we scored we took control. There's a great resilience and the team are functioning really well."

Liverpool now turn their attention to Europa League commitments, with Besiktas the visitors to Anfield on Thursday.
