Christian Benteke's first Liverpool goal was "incredible", according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has heaped praise on new striker Christian Benteke, who scored his first goal for the club in their 2-1 win against Swindon Town.

The Belgian striker opened the scoring just four minutes after the break with a powerful volley from 20 yards, and Rodgers is encouraged by what he saw.

He told the club's official website: "Christian's goal was incredible, whether it was a pre-season friendly or in a league or cup game. It was wonderful technique from the big guy.

"The other guys started to get some minutes under their belt; Firmino, Emre Can, boys that have come back a bit later. It was pleasing all round.

"It finished off our pre-season preparations - a number of guys needed a game today. It was a really good exercise."

Liverpool start their Premier League campaign against Stoke City next week.
