The Italian international scored his first Liverpool goal, at the Kop end, in yesterday's 4-1 hammering of Portsmouth. It was a proud moment for the midfielder.
"I feel really good because I've scored my first goal after a really long time. I'm also really happy because of the result - we needed that," said Aquilani.
"The goal is even more special because I scored it in front of the Kop. I said when I arrived in Liverpool that I wanted to score in front of the Kop and that moment has arrived.
"I think I played well but I have to take it step by step. Today was a good day and now we look to the next game.
"Above all, the big thing was that we played well and won. We have to take things step by step now. We can only think about Sunday after Thursday.
"Can I do better? Everyone can do better. Fernando made things easy. He is a special player, you easily play with him and Stevie."
