Liverpool striker Origi on late winner: We all came here with big heart

Liverpool striker Divock Origi was delighted to prove the matchwinner for their 3-2 triumph at Newcastle United.

The Reds won 3-2 thanks to supersub Origi heading home late on.

He said: "Today was a big fight. We knew it beforehand.

"We came here with a big heart, it wasn't easy and you could see they were also willing to come back. But in the end we showed our fighting spirit and we got the three points.

"I just try to do whatever I can and I'm happy I'm scoring late winners. I'm happy for the team, it's very important for us.

"We work so hard and we know it's a crucial part of the season. And also for Mo who came out, we just felt like we had to fight for the three points."

Origi insists the mentality within the Liverpool dressing room will remain entirely the same ahead of next Sunday - focussed and determined.

"It's a lot of emotion, but we have to control it," he added. "It's very exciting, it's a special season and until now we did very well.

"We want to finish it off in style. Let's see how the remaining games go. We'll do everything to win everything and hopefully it comes out our way."
