| Philippe Coutinho sealed all three points for Liverpool with a stunning late strike |
JORDAN HENDERSON has heaped praise on Philippe Coutinho for his 'magic' winning goal against Stoke.
Liverpool and Stoke looked to be playing out a 0-0 bore draw in their first game of the season.
But a long-range strike from Coutinho on 86 minutes sealed all three points for the Reds.
And new club captain Henderson admits he's not surprised the Brazilian came up with the goods at the death.
He said: "We knew it would be difficult it's hard place and a good team. But we've worked well in pre-season and I think we showed the resilience today before Philippe came up with a bit of magic.
"I was behind the shot, I Knew he would make the keeper work, he does that in training everyday so there's no surprise to us really.
"I always believe we can create chances so I knew we'd get a chance to win the game and thank fully we did. It's one win, one game at the end of the day so we have to keep working hard."
