Borini delighted to be involved in Liverpool Cup win

Fabio Borini was delighted to be part of Liverpool's Capital One Cup win over Swansea City.

Borini made only his second start of the season against his former club in the fourth-round clash - and with four minutes of normal time remaining, he conjured a stunning pass for Mario Balotelli to finish in front of the Kop.

"I think we played really well from the kick-off until the last seconds of the game and we scored at the last possible attempt," he told Liverpoolfc.com.

"It was the players who were not playing so much or so often, like myself - but we knew that when we got the chance to play, we needed to make sure that we took the chance and we showed that.

"I'm very pleased with my performance - not just for the assist, but for my performance after a long time not playing. Apart from me, all the other players played magnificent and we showed that we can play as a team."
