Many Liverpool fans were impressed by Jordan Henderson's performance in their side's 3-1 win over Manchester City on Sunday, and noted how the game shifted once the England midfielder left the field.Henderson featured for 61 minutes before being replaced by James Milner early in the second-half, and delivered the teasing back post cross for Sadio Mane to head home the Reds' third goal of the game ten minutes before he was withdrawn.The 55-cap England international delivered his teasing cross from the right wing as he drifted away from Ilkay Gundogan's marking.

Mane's goal came from Henderson's sole key ball of the game, with the Sunderland-born midfielder spending the least time in possession of any player for either side bar the Reds' front three, Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling before being taken off, according to data collected by WhoScored.

Henderson also played the least passes of any Liverpool player other than Roberto Firmino during his time on the pitch, with the 29-year-old finding a teammate with 13 of his 17 attempted balls.

He also only made one successful tackle, albeit with his only attempt, along with no interceptions or clearances.

Liverpool had held 47.2% of the total possession with Henderson on the field, but that figure declined to 40.2% following the introduction of Milner and a shift to a 4-5-1 rather than their initial 4-3-3 shape.

Manchester City also increased their number of passes in the final third to 45% without Henderson on the field, with just 35 of their 182 balls coming in their backfield, having managed to play 41% of their passes in Liverpool's defensive zone during the first hour of proceedings.
