Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool can build on flying league start

Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool's winning mentality can help his young side build on their best start to a Premier League season for five years.

The Liverpool manager saw his team maintain their 100% start with victory at Aston Villa on Saturday.

Daniel Sturridge scored the winner for the second Saturday in a row to leave Liverpool second in the league table.

"The mentality of the group is to win together. That is important," Rodgers said. "We have to keep it going."
Liverpool had to wait until 29 September to win their first league match of last season and the Anfield club had not won their opening two matches of the season since 2008-09, when they last challenged for the title. "It's still very early. What was important was to make a good start," Rodgers added.

"We didn't have a good start at all last year. Since the turn of the year we've been getting better and better."
Liverpool dominated the first half of the match, scoring through Sturridge, but Villa came back into the contest after the interval and might have pinched a point.
