"It was hard as expected, they are a good side who work really hard. We knew it would be difficult and we are delighted to get the points," Jordan Henderson said of the Sheffield United win, quoted by the Mirror.
"McBurnie was very good in the air so it was hard for the lads at the back but they coped and worked it out better in the second half. We should have killed the game off with another goal or two.
"I am only interested in the mentality in our changing room and I see hunger, resilience, character to dig in and win if you are not playing at your best. We showed we can dig in and see results out."
Liverpool have beaten Sheffield United 2-1 at Anfield.
The Blades opened the scoring in the first half as Sander Berge converted from the spot after VAR official Andre Marriner granted the guests a very questionable penalty. Fabinho's challenge on Oli McBurnie was a hard one but it was most likely outside the box and it was hardly a foul.
Nonetheless, the Reds managed to come out on top, thanks to goals from Bobby Firmino and Diogo Jota.
