It was a while in coming but Liverpool eventually wore down a well drilled and organised Bolton side, with Sterling and Coutinho the pair to once again pull the team out of the mire.
Speaking after the game, Sterling spoke to the BBC of his admiration and appreciation of his team-mate, Phil Coutinho, he said “Philippe has that magic to turn the game on its head and that’s what he did tonight. It was great individual skill and a great finish.”
The young England star himself contributed a beauty of goal as well and now sees no reason why the Reds can’t go and win away to Crystal Palace. He continued “When we went 1-0 down and we hit the woodwork so many times, I was thinking: ‘It’s not our day’. But I think the boys stuck in really well.
“I just saw the ball come over and saw that I was free. I watched the ‘keeper and put it through his legs and I was happy to get on the scoresheet.
“The most important thing was to win the game and that’s what we’ve done. We can go on to Crystal Palace now (in the fifth round) and hopefully nick a win there.”
