Dalglish delight at derby win
Kenny Dalglish hailed the patient approach which enabled his Liverpool side to see off 10-man Everton in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.[LNB] Jack Rodwell's sending off in the 23rd minute by referee Martin Atkinson looked extremely harsh after he won the ball before making contact with Luis Suarez in the follow through.[LNB]But Liverpool took full advantage by gradually wearing down Everton's resistance and taking the three points courtesy of second-half goals from Andy Carroll and Suarez.[LNB]"I think up until they lost a man it was even," Dalgish told Sky Sports 1. "I don't think there was much between the teams.[LNB]"Sometimes the extra man works against you and sometimes it works in your favour. We kept our patience and we are delighted with the result.[LNB]"Whether we would have won if they had not lost a man we don't know."[LNB]Asked if he felt Rodwell's dismissal had been harsh, Dalglish replied: "I don't know. I haven't seen it (a replay)."[LNB]Preferring to concentrate on his side's performance, Dalglish added: "Everybody did very well. Andy is off the mark with a league goal which is good for us. Dirk missed a penalty but didn't let it affect him and Luis gets another one."[LNB]Suarez was happy for Carroll. He said: "As a striker every time you try to score. Today I am happy for Andy as well."
