# Liverpool: Fans swoon over Jordan Henderson after Leicester City display

**Many Liverpool fans were delighted with the performance of captain Jordan Henderson despite his side’s 3-1 defeat to Leicester City on Saturday.**

The 30-year-old was converted into a makeshift centre-back once more to nurse the injury crisis in the defensive department, with Virgil Van Dijk, Fabinho, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez all out of action.

Henderson, who earns [£140k-per-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/liverpool-fc/payroll/) at Anfield, found himself [all over the pitch](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2021/feb/13/leicester-city-v-liverpool-premier-league-live) in order to turn the screw in the tie – striding into the midfield and getting crosses in from the right-hand side.

The England international started at the heart of the defence for the seventh-game running and had scored once and provided one assist from 18 starts before the game ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/68659/Show/Jordan-Henderson)).

With this in mind, supporters applauded the work that Henderson has done in recent weeks, despite the Reds continuing to slump in all competitions with a series of poor results.
