Jordan Henderson's status as Liverpool captain has been questioned somewhat due to the recent form of the England midfielder, but Friday night's match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was a clear improvement.
Henderson's confidence would have been helped by the absolute stunner he curled into the top corner in the 36th minute, and it was such a fantastic strike that it may spark Henderson to kick on and get back to his best.
One thing is for sure about the goal, it rocked Marko Grujic's world. The young Serbian was left absolutely stunned by the dipping strike, and his reaction was picked up on a few minutes after the replays ended.

That is fantastic.
It genuinely looks like he cannot believe what just happened.
Chelsea would pull a goal back through Diego Costa, but it was Liverpool who took all three points as they saw out the game and claimed a big win in London. As for Grujic, he probably needed a lie-down at half-time.
