Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho hopes Chelsea win can be a turning point

Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho has claimed that his double strike against Chelsea can be a turning point for him this season.

The Brazilian has admitted that he has not been playing at his highest level, but after scoring twice in a 3-1 victory over the Blues, the Reds star is hopeful that he can go on a goalscoring run.

"For me, it was great," Coutinho told the club's official website. "I wasn't playing so well and hadn't scored for a while, so I was glad to score again and help the team.

"I hope [it can be a turning point for me], I hope so. Sometimes when you play things don't always go well, but I always work hard. I'm always looking to improve and I hope from now on I'll continue improving, not only me, but the team, which is the most important thing.

"I think everyone's happy with the result. We know the work is just beginning and we have to keep it up, but I think we're on the right track. Of course, we've had a run without any wins, and everyone was focused on winning, which was important for us. Three points and against that opposition, it's given a boost to our confidence and I hope we can now focus on each game and be successful."

Coutinho has won three games so far this season.
