Brendan Rodgers: 'We could have scored seven or eight'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has praised his team following their 5-0 defeat of Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon, stating that his side could have scored seven or eight goals.

The Reds emerged victorious with an imperious away performance, which saw a brace from Luis Suarez and goals from Jordan Henderson, Jon Flanagan and Raheem Sterling.

"It was fantastic. It was everything we'd wanted out of the game." Rodgers told Sky Sports News. "First and foremost, our work-rate, how we pressed the ball as a team, was outstanding and that earned us the right to play.

"We got five goals and could easily have had seven or eight. That was probably the most complete performance since I've been here, and just continues the evolution of what we're trying to do.

"We just want to continue improving, continue to work on how we play. Today was great and I really enjoyed watching the team today in every aspect."

Liverpool's next Premier League encounter comes next weekend when they face Cardiff City at Anfield.
