Iwobi stated that it is important for the Merseysiders to learn lessons from the defeat and be ready to go again.
The manner in which we conceded their two goals, it was something that we were talking about before the game, Iwobi told the club’s official website.
“We know the threat that they have on the counter-attack. We tried to nullify that, but we weren’t able to do so, couple of mistakes, it’s something that we can’t dwell on too long.”
Iwobi also reflected on his superb strike in the game.
“When the ball came to me, I thought ‘let me try and place it’. It’s something to add to my game, hopefully there’s more goals like that to come.”
