Liverpool ace Christian Benteke: How my heart-to-heart with Jurgen Klopp helped me score

Christian Benteke celebrates after scoring against Leicester

The big Belgian came off the bench to end the Foxes' unbeaten run and get the Reds back on track after no wins in four matches.

Benteke started the match as a substitute but was brought on in the 38th minute when compatriot Divock Origi was forced off with an injury.

And he got his first goal since November 26 with a right footed shot from inside the area.

After the match, Benteke hailed his team-mate's character.

He said: "The last few weeks were hard for us. Today we showed some great character. We have a big squad, some quality players. You have to be patient."

"I spoke with Jurgen Klopp a few days ago and he explained what he needed from me. And I tried to do it on the pitch. I’m looking forward to 2016. We have to keep going and work hard."
