Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has admitted that the presence of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane up top has helped the club to swiftly move on from the drawn-out sale of Philippe Coutinho.
The Reds lost Brazilian playmaker Coutinho to Barcelona in a £142m deal last month, removing their key midfield creator as a result.
Salah, Firmino and Mane have all continued their impressive form, however, with each finding the net once again in Liverpool's 5-0 win away at Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Asked why his side have been able to quickly draw a line under the Coutinho transfer saga, Henderson told reporters: "Because we still have a lot of quality players like Salah, Mane and Firmino, who create chances. We knew we would create chances going forward [without Coutinho], but it was about the team.
"[This win] was a team performance. We defended really well from start to finish throughout the whole team and created some good chances. It was a good performance and a good result but that is it. We need to move on."
Coutinho, meanwhile, has one goal and zero assists from his first six matches in a Barcelona shirt.
