Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has claimed that his side has "turned the corner" following their 4-1 win over Swansea City this evening.

Lallana scored twice as the Reds ended the year by claiming all three points at Anfield to move up to eighth in the Premier League table.

"I thought the lads were brilliant," he told Sky Sports News. "I have always said it wasn't going to be easy making the move from Southampton but the lads have been great. I have been playing more central and have been really enjoying it. It was great to get the goals and more important was the performance.

"We haven't put in many good performances this season and hopefully we have turned the corner. The pressure is always different coming to a team like this. Possibly how well Liverpool did, the expectation came as a bit of a shock to a lot of the new signings. But we are bedding in with time. There is more gelling coming as a team. Our target is top four."

Liverpool will start the New Year by welcoming Leicester City to Anfield on Thursday.
