Wijnaldum craves easy life

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum admits it would be nice to make things easier for themselves after edging another tight encounter to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season.James Milners added-time penalty snatched a 2-1 win over Leicester on Brendan Rodgers first return to Anfield, four years and a day after he was sacked as Reds boss.It was the third time in a week Jurgen Klopps side had edged a game by a single-goal margin after they benefited from a goalkeeping error at Sheffield United last weekend and had to bounce back from letting a three-goal lead slip to beat Red Bull Salzburg 4-3 in the Champions League.

We did it again but we hope to make it easier.Another 3 points Well take em gladly #YNWA #LIVLEI pic.twitter.com/rHCKLynPuz Gini Wijnaldum (@GWijnaldum) October 5, 2019Liverpool dominated the first half but had only Sadio Manes 41st-minute goal his 50th in the Premier League for the club to show for it after Milners raking pass released the Senegal international, who should have doubled their lead before the break.In the second half, with Klopps side unable to gain full control, Leicester hit back through James Maddison 10 minutes from time to set up an anxious finish but Milner was the coolest man inside Anfield with the seconds counting down, with his 17th success from 19 spot-kicks for the club.Top teams always do it, they go to the very end of the game, said the 33-year-old.When you havent had your best game or things havent gone for you in the game, you keep going to the very end and find a way to win.James Milner, left, celebrates his late winner (Peter Byrne/PA)Weve done it on numerous occasions. Sometimes theres a bit of luck in there, but forcing the issue and creating your own luck, the best teams always seem to do it.Despite the nature of the defeat Rodgers was satisfied with his sides performance.You come to a stadium that is one of the most difficult in Europe in terms of momentum and we were able to turn the momentum around for us, he said.You have to have all types. We had to have that persistence and perseverance but when we had spells with the ball, we looked creative and we had a threat.It wasnt to be but I am proud of coming here and bringing a team to compete at that level.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
