Daniel Sturridge scored in his first match back after being out for five months due to injury.
Sturridge scored within 12 minutes of coming on as a sub.
“It was nice for him and he’s been out for a long time,” Brendan Rodgers said. “It’s about managing his game time. When he’s in that area, he’s shown he’s lethal.
“Daniel is a top-class player – he has shown that in his career so far. He worked very hard, and the first opportunity that came his way he took.
“It was a great first touch and a wonderful finish. I’m delighted for him, but it’s about managing that integration in the team.”
