Liverpool burrowed in behind them from the first attack, with Johnson on the overlap crossing the ball at the by-line. Jan Vertonghen should have cut it out, but didn’t and Kaboul got in a dreadful tangle, his angle to the ball all wrong, as he turned it into his own goal. Pressure off and, from Liverpool’s point of view, game on.
Henderson skied a glorious chance over from Sterling's pass and it needed an instinctive save from Lloris to prevent Sturridge scoring with an impudent back-heel. The inevitable fourth arrived when Henderson whipped over a free-kick from the left that sailed through Suárez's legs and into the far corner. "Now you're gonna believe us," has not sounded this convincing at Anfield for over two decades.
"For us, the mantra has always been to focus on the next game, we never get too carried away," Rodgers said.
