Jordan Henderson changed the game when he came on from the bench against Southampton – and many Liverpool fans hailed him for his performance.

Jurgen Klopp’s team continued their bid for the Premier League title by coming from behind to win 3-1 at Mary’s, which moved them back to the top of the table temporarily above rivals Manchester City.

After a goal each during the first-half, the Reds introduced captain Henderson from the bench and he played a key role in getting three points.

The 28-year-old scored one and assisted another in the closing stages to spark wild celebrations from away fans.

A selection of Liverpool fans were delighted to see Henderson make the impact he did, as quite often he can be a scapegoat at Anfield.

The England international netted his first goal of the season at a crucial time and proved that he’s a vital senior player within the group.

He timed his run well into the penalty area to tap in a simple third Liverpool goal and that will have helped his confidence really.
