Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers pleased with winning mentality

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed that his side's "winning habit" got them through their FA Cup fourth-round replay at Bolton Wanderers.

The Reds looked to be on their way out of the competition as Eidur Gudjohnsen's penalty had 10-man Bolton ahead with just five minutes remaining.

However, late goals from Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling secured a 2-1 victory at the Macron Stadium.

"We have got a great habit at the minute which is winning games," Rodgers told BT Sport.

"You can't question the character. They have shown a real strong mentality in my time here. At 1-0 I expected us to win it. The confidence at the moment is very high.

"Our composure after the penalty - it was never a penalty - was very good. We scored two and could have had many more."

Rodgers has also praised Coutinho for his recent form.
