Adam Lallana claims Liverpool have developed ‘a sixth sense’ for late comebacks.
Saturday’s late win over Aston Villa was the fifth time that Jurgen Klopp’s side have scored in the final 15 minutes of their previous games in all competitions.
The European champions continue to hold a commanding six-point lead in the Premier League title race ahead of this weekend’s clash with Manchester City.
And Lallana attributes the Reds’ ability to see matches through as a driving force in their ability to overturn a one-goal deficit in the last 10 minutes at Villa Park.
He said: “It’s almost like a sixth sense.
“We knew at half-time [against Villa] that, if we got one goal, it’s going to count.
“We got it late but we still had time. It doesn’t surprise me that we got a second goal.”
The midfielder also credits the breathless Carabao Cup win over Arsenal just three days before facing Villa as having a galvanising effect for Liverpool.
“We made 11 changes but as a squad you still gain momentum just from being there, even the lads who didn’t play,” added Lallana.
“We took that and, even though we weren’t at our best in the first half [at Villa Park], it helps towards the ‘never say never’ [attitude].
“We’ve just got that momentum”.
