Philippe Coutinho has admitted that he is hoping to improve his goals tally this season after helping Liverpool to victory over Arsenal.
The Brazilian midfielder bagged two for the Reds as they picked up a 4-3 win at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Coutinho, who made a switch to Anfield from Inter Milan in 2013, found the net 12 times for Liverpool last season and now intends to build on that tally over the coming months.
"Yes, I think I can score more this season," he told the Liverpool Echo. "I always said that the one thing I really needed to improve was to score more goals.
"I did that last season and now I want to keep on improving. The most important thing is the group. But the more goals I score, the more I can help the team.
"I am happy not only because I scored two goals but because the team played well and we got the three points we wanted. We feel good. It was a tough game but we played really well in the second half. It's the first step for us. To win away at one of our rivals will be good for our confidence."
Adam Lallana and Sadio Mane scored the other two goals for Liverpool as they kicked off their season with maximum points in North London.
