Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson admitted the first few months of 2021 was one of the 'toughest spells' of his Anfield career.
The Reds were top of the table at Christmas in December 2020, but the month that followed saw a title charge collapse right before their eyes and they suffered their first league defeat at home since April 2017.
Liverpool's poor form was largely caused by the significant number of injuries within the squad, but in the face of adversity they fought back to secure a top four finish at the end of the season.
