Jose Enrique claims he can compete with Alberto Moreno after witnessing his compatriot's wonder strike at Tottenham.

Enrique was pleased for his fellow Spaniard to score such a great goal and he came on as a late substitute to make his return after nine months out with a knee problem.

Brendan Rodgers sees Moreno as his new first-choice left-back, but Enrique believes the Reds boss will give him a chance to fight for a starting place.

"After so long out, it was great to be back playing," Enrique told the Liverpool Echo.

"The only problem was that once I got warm the game was finished!

"I know I have to go little by little and be patient.

"Moreno did really well and scored an amazing goal. For me the best thing about it was the pressing to win the ball back. That was half of the goal. How he finished was unbelievable.

"The most important thing is that we are a team. This is a team sport and we all have to fight to make this team better. Hopefully we can do even better than last season.

"I will have my chances. I know I have the confidence of the manager so I'm happy about that."
