# Liverpool: Fans praise skipper Jordan Henderson after Spurs goal

**Liverpool fans have heaped praise on captain Jordan Henderson after his equaliser against Tottenham sparked a second-half comeback to win [2-1](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2019/oct/27/liverpool-v-tottenham-hotspur-premier-league-live) against the north London side.**

Henderson, 29, scored eight minutes into the second half which was later followed by a Mohamed Salah penalty to seal all three points and maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League.

The England international found himself to be [at fault](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2019/oct/27/liverpool-v-tottenham-hotspur-premier-league-live) for the visitors’ opener after losing possession on the halfway line, but his goal instantly made up for his first-half lapse.

> It’ll go against a lot of people’s agenda, but Henderson was superb that second half.

After a poor first half, his adaptive role alongside Fabinho gave him the freedom to advance further up the pitch. He completed [two dribbles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/68659/MatchStatistics/Jordan-Henderson) and set up a [key pass](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/68659/MatchStatistics/Jordan-Henderson) in the second period of the game.

As Henderson is effectively Liverpool’s [‘marmite’ player](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jul/09/jordan-henderson-mature-leader-england-croatia-world-cup-semi-final), supporters were quick to praise him for his second-half performance.

Here you will find some of the best responses from Liverpool fans:

> We’d lose more games without him. The reason why Klopp plays him. Football is not just skills, assists & goals.

> He was excellent and should have had a foul when he was clearly taken out. Result though is so important because they were out to spoil and foul and do whatever it took today Spurs. We found a way and Mane was outstanding.
