Christian Benteke has acknowledged the £32.5 million transfer fee paid by Liverpool will always make it difficult for him to live up to expectations.

"Yeah [the price tag is] hard, because I know everything that I'm going to do people are going to talk about the money," said Benteke.

"But as long I'm alright with me, with myself, and I try to work hard for my team, that's the main thing.

"It's not the season that I was expecting, but it's football, and you have some good times and some bad times and you have to deal with them.

"Yeah [scoring again meant a great deal], this is part of football sometimes, you have these kind of moments, and when the manager calls you you have to be ready and you have to try to contribute towards the team.

"It's hard to say [if the goal can kick-start my Liverpool career], because football, you never know what's going to happen. I take the minutes the manager gives me and try to fight.''
