Philippe Coutinho insists that Liverpool cannot afford to rest on their laurels after a crushing victory over Maribor got their Champions League campaign back on track.

The Brazilian scored the team's second goal as they registered an emphatic 7-0 win in Slovenia to move top of Group E on goal difference.

Though Liverpool's No 10 is relishing his side's return to form after a run of one win in eight, he believes they cannot get complacent just yet.

'The team were very focused right from the first minute,' Coutinho told UEFA.com.

'It's been a while since we picked up a good win. We've been creating scoring chances without managing to turn them into goals. 

'But in the game things went right for us and we did a good job.

'We need to keep working hard and training hard in order to keep this going. 

'We have another game against them at home, a difficult game, where we hope to play another good match.'
