Summer signing Alberto Aquilani was pleased to have finally made his full league debut for Liverpool in the 2-0 win over Wolves on Boxing Day.

The 25-year-old former Roma midfielder has struggled to recover from an ankle injury during his first few months at Anfield, but is now fully fit and raring to go.

He told the Daily Echo: "I really enjoyed the game as it was important for me - I want to improve my fitness.

"It was so different to anything I have experienced, as it was so quick and you never really had much time. The football we played was so fast.

"The most important thing, however, was that we won. We need to improve our confidence and we need to keep winning games to move up the table.

"It is crucial to take things step by step, but our aim is now to win three, four and five games in a row. If we can do that, we will see where that takes us.

"Now we have to face Aston Villa and it is a very important game for our season, but we are feeling good and it is important that we try to win.

"Like I have said before, every game is like a cup final for us."
