Rafa pleased with win
Rafael Benitez was happy with yesterday's win. Liverpool kept themselves in the hunt for a Champions League qualifying place with a 3-0 home win against Sunderland yesterday. The result and performance left Rafa Benitez a satisfied man. "You always try to do your best and you always try to play better," said the boss. "Today we started with a really high tempo and passed the ball well. We scored an early goal which can always help. We continued pushing and created a lot of chances. "I was trying to protect players after the third goal because we know we have to play against Benfica and early against Birmingham, so if we can manage and avoid injuries and problems, you can carry on playing the same way with the same tactics. "At this moment the main thing for us is to play well. If we do this, we will be closer to the top four and hopefully we will be closer to the final of the Europa League. That is the best way for us to move forward."
