Reds still driven by Euro ambition

21 March 2011 15:30
Dirk Kuyt is refusing to give up the fight for Europe after helping to drag Liverpool back to within four points of the top five. The Dutchman's penalty set the Merseysiders on their way to victory at Sunderland on Sunday as they cemented their position in sixth in the table by taking their return under temporary boss Kenny Dalglish to 20 Barclays Premier League points from a possible 30. They still trail fifth-placed Tottenham, who have a game in hand, by four points, but Kuyt has vowed not to give up the fight as Liverpool attempt to atone for their Europa League exit last week. Asked if qualification for Europe was a realistic ambition, Kuyt told BBC Sport: "What's realistic? We have to take it from game to game." He added: "Now we have to be ready for West Brom and to get another three points, and we will see what happens."
