Arbeloa pleased with win

Liverpool hammered Aston Villa 5-0 at Anfield this weekend to close the gap on Man Utd to a point.

"We had a really good start to the game. I think that kind of first-half display is the key to improving our home form," said Arbeloa.

"If we can start really well at Anfield it can be important because an early goal can open up a tight match. You saw what it was like against Real Madrid in the Champions League and they could not cope with us, so I think we have to do the same in all of our home matches."
