# Liverpool: Fans loved Opta statistic on Jordan Henderson

**Liverpool fans have heaped praise on captain Jordan Henderson after a stat was revealed following his side’s [1-0](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50882581) win against Wolves on Sunday.**

The midfielder played a huge part as the Reds maintained their winning momentum, extending his team’s unbeaten run at Anfield to [50](https://www.foxnews.com/sports/liverpool-50-games-unbeaten-at-home-with-1-0-win-v-wolves) games and with a 13-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

A goal from Sadio Mane was enough to see Jurgen Klopp’s side over the line as they finished the calendar year with just one defeat in the domestic league.

Henderson arrived at the club in [2011](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/13685517) and captained his side as they won the Champions League in [Madrid](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48368443), the Super Cup in [Istanbul](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49332825) and the Club World Cup in [Doha](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50869633), all in 2019.

Supporters were delighted with Henderson and what he had achieved, making their feelings clear towards him on social media. One fan described him as an “unsung hero”, while another called him a “machine”.
