Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was delighted with his young players after their Capital One Cup shootout win over Middlesbrough.

Jordan Rossiter scored in the 2-2 draw.

"Tonight was a good night for our young players," Rodgers told reporters during his post-match press conference. "Young Jordan Rossiter could walk to Anfield; he just lives round the corner. I was delighted for him. He got the opportunity and showed wonderful composure to get his finish.

"I was also impressed with young Jordan Williams, he came on and showed really good stature and composure in the game. He is a wonderful footballer and a young player that is developing well.

"I think all the young kids from our U8s and U9s at the Academy now - and all the Academy coaches - will look at that tonight."
