Press Report

23rd Sep 2006 - Media Watch

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez admitted he is happy with his side after they dispatched Tottenham 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday.

The Reds, who won 2-0 in midweek against Newcastle, emerged victorious after second-half strikes from Mark Gonzalez, Dirk Kuyt and John Arne Riise.

Benitez told the club website: "It was a good game, a difficult game. We knew how Spurs were going to play and in the first half it was hard for us to make clear chances.

"In the second period we were better. We got the ball wide earlier and the quality of players we now have meant we were able to make better opportunities. Tottenham had one good chance in the first half and one in the second but apart from that I thought we were the better side.

"I'm happy with the team and happy with the confidence we have after winning again."
