'I'll be honest, I thought he'd missed'
The 23-year-old was the match-winner for the second week running at Villa Park after collecting a pass from Enrique - via a Philippe Coutinho dummy - and gliding around the goalkeeper before rifling a finish into the net.
From his vantage point, Enrique initially thought his teammate had taken the ball too wide to convert. Given time to reflect, however, the Spaniard's verdict was overwhelmingly positive.
"It was a good pass, Philippe left the ball really well and then Danny did the rest - he scored the goal. He did everything," he told Liverpoolfc.com.
"To be honest, when he went too far on the right I thought he was going to miss it. But he did really well.
"We know Danny is a top striker; he has two goals in two games already and hopefully he can stay in this form because he's a top player."
At the other end of the field, Enrique was again part of a Liverpool backline which has kept nine clean sheets in the club's last 15 competitive fixtures - a formula which could bear great fruit.
The No.3 added: "For any team in the league, and more when you want to fight for things, you have to start from the back.
"It's so important to keep a clean sheet because we know the players we have up front have chances. Today we didn't have as many as we want; last week we had a lot more.
