And after scoring his first Champions League goal in seven years to seal the victory, skipper Henderson wants his side to limit their errors.

The 31-year-old said: “It was a bit of a roller coaster and I’m sure it was very good to watch as a neutral.

“For the majority of the game our performance level was really good, obviously we had a spell towards the end of the first half, the last 10 to 15 minutes, where we weren’t quite at it and we were a little bit sloppy and we got punished with two goals.

“The performance level for 70-75 minutes was very good and we just need to learn about that 10 to 15-minute spell and make sure that doesn’t happen too often otherwise you’ll get punished at this level.

“We made hard work of the game but you’ve got to give credit to Milan. They’re a good side, good players.

“But I thought the boys reacted so well in the second half. We kept going, kept fighting and managed to find a couple of goals to win the game, so overall delighted with the result.”

Boss Jurgen Klopp made four changes to his side for the clash, including bringing in Belgium international Divock Origi.

And the German revealed he was relieved he could finally give the striker his first minutes of the season.

Klopp, 54, said: “To be 100 per cent honest I thought he would maybe leave in the summer, but the football world is a crazy place and people obviously forgot how good he is.

“I’m really happy I could give him the opportunity and that he used it like he did.”
