“The result said that (it was an easy game) but the game on the pitch was completely different,” the forward, who scored twice, told Sky Sports. 

“I thought they made it difficult for us, overall it was a good game and we are happy to be through. It’s important when you equalise as quickly as possible and scoring at Anfield is always special. It’s nice to help the team.

“We lost only one game. We are still in the process, still developing our concept, but the only thing that will make us better is to win, so we are happy.

“It’s difficult, but we want to win it again. We are the defending champions and we want to forget about that.”
