Brendan Rodgers praises Liverpool composure in FA Cup victory

Brendan Rodgers has praised Liverpool for showing "composure" during their FA Cup fifth-round win over Crystal Palace.

The Reds were a goal down at the break, but second-half efforts from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana ensured that they progressed courtesy of a2-1 win.

Rodgers said as his post-match press conference: "I thought we were outstanding. After that first goal that they scored, I thought the team was very good.

"It was certainly a different feeling to when we were here before. I think you saw the confidence in the team and the composure today.

"The players turned it around. We just felt at half time that we were creating enough chances. I felt we needed to be more aggressive. We started the game not as aggressively as we would have wanted. I thought the players showed great composure and great character in that second half."

Liverpool will find out who they will face in the quarter-finals when the draw takes place on Monday.
