Adam Lallana says Liverpool have turned a corner after playing he played a key role in a 4-1 win over Swansea City.
The England midfielder scored twice at Anfield on Monday night, helping the Reds up to eighth in the Premier League, five points off fourth place.
Lallana told Sky Sports: "I thought the lads were brilliant. I have always said it wasn't going to be easy making the move from Southampton but the lads have been great.
“I have been playing more central and have been really enjoying it. It was great to get the goals and more important was the performance.”
Liverpool took the lead after Alberto Moreno finished off Three Lions midfielder Jordan Henderson’s cutback, and Lallana doubled the advantage on 51 minutes, charging down a Lukasz Fabianski clearance into the Swansea net.

Gylfi Sigurdsson pulled a goal back almost immediately for Swansea, but Lallana made it 3-1 on 61 minutes after ghosting through the centre and firing home from the inside left position.
Former Liverpool midfielder Jonjo Shelvey then capped off a miserable night for the Welsh outfit when he headed into his own net.
"We haven't put in many good performances this season and hopefully we have turned the corner,” said Lallana, whose England team-mate Raheem Sterling hit the post for Liverpool.
“The pressure is always different coming to a team like this. Possibly how well Liverpool did, the expectation came as a bit of a shock to a lot of the new signings.
“But we are bedding in with time. There is more gelling coming as a team. Our target is top four."
