Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is confident his side will not crumble under pressure, as the final four Premier League matches of the season approaches.

His comments came on the back of Liverpool's hard-fought 3-2 victory over Manchester City on Sunday, a win which leaves them two points clear at the summit of the table. 

Goals from Raheem Sterling and Martin Skrtel put Brendan Rodger's men in pole position before the City fight back began. David Silva found the back of the net, as did Liverpool's Glen Johnson, who bizarrely knocked the ball past a despairing Mignolet and into his own goal.

With the game hanging in the balance, Phillipe Coutinho capitalized on a rare Vincent Kompany error to skillfully put the Reds in the lead once more. 

Manchester City were unable to find an equalizer and Liverpool held out for what could prove to be a pivotal win in the title race.

With 10 successive wins now under their belts, Liverpool's destiny is now firmly in their hands. As title expectations intensify, manager Brendan Rodgers has said his side are well equipped to deal with the pressures that come with it.

He said: "The expectancy of this football club is a challenge every day. Our objective is to stay where we are, there is no question about that.

"We've been put under pressure in every game that we've played. But you see the level and the quality of our football - it was fantastic today - so we're clearly coping with it.

"It was a remarkable performance. I thought we were incredible today. I think the world watching that would see a team with so much spirit and so much quality.

"It showed you the character in this group to come back, to get our composure again and to score a brilliant goal.

"We were well on top in the first half, 2-0 up and could have been more. But they have got top players, and top players respond and show character and they got themselves back into the game.

"I said before the game that it was a significant game and it may end up being a significant one, but we've got Norwich next week.

"It's about enjoying this because Man City are a wonderful team. We'll recover well and we're not going to vary from what we've always done, which is to concentrate on the next opponent."
