Steven Gerrard believes his side gave manager Rafa Benitez what he was looking for after they came from behind to beat Bolton 3-2.[LNB]The Reds skipper scored the winning goal at the Reebok to ensure they bounced back from Monday's defeat to Aston Villa in the best possible way.[LNB]Gerrard said: "The manager questioned the whole team after Monday's home defeat, and rightly so. We were nowhere near good enough and we didn't play close to our standard.[LNB]"There has been a lot of soul-searching this week. The manager asked for character, determination and intensity and I think he got the three things he wanted from us all.[LNB]"We have had a couple of good meetings this week and we couldn't wait for this game to come around. We went behind twice but again we showed what character we have in this team.[LNB]"Going behind twice there are times when you think you are not going to get a point, never mind three, but we got our rewards in the end and we could have ended up scoring four or five."
