That’s it for tonight’s blog. Thanks for your company and emails – goodnight.
Brendan Rodgers’ verdict
It’s been too long, to be honest [their first victory]. We were excellent tonight – the intensity, the pressing. It’s a great night for the players and the supporters. I said before the match that it could be a season-changing game.
We’ve played well with the ball this season, but against the ball in key moments we haven’t defended well. Tonight, we did that and we got our first clean sheet, which is important.
[On James Maddison not being picked by England] It’s a really, really difficult job, with the quality of players that are available. But it’s such a shame for the country, and for James himself. You see his talent… I think only Harry Kane has scored and created more goals in the past 18 months. To not even be in the squad… It’s not only his quality, in international football you want someone who has the personality to take the ball, be creative, change the game. James has all of that. He’s an absolutely brilliant player and a great, great lad.
