Liverpool defeated Aston Villa away from home to complete their 4th victory in the last 5 league games.
The merseysiders have re-gained momentum and find form in their new 3-4-2-1 system with star striker Sturridge still not back yet.
Summer signing Mario Balotelli was not even in the squad with Rodgers preferring Borini once again and the former Roma man impressed.
Borini opened the scoring in the first half thanks to a pin point cross provided by captain Jordan Henderson and the Italian latched onto it to score his second league goal for the Reds.
The second half was mainly dominated by Aston Villa who troubled Liverpool with constant pressure. Liverpool are still unsettled by long balls in the box and the home side had numerous clear cut opportunities but poor finishing meant they did not score.
Mignolet made a stunning save in the second half when Belgian international Benteke rocketed the ball goal-wards but his compatriot made sure that Liverpool kept clean sheet.
Lambert came on in the second half to seal victory for the Reds with a quality finish in the bottom corner.
Jordan Ibe returned from loan and was handed few minutes after replacing Sterling. The youngster was confident in taking on defenders and is surely like a new signing for the Reds.
