Aurelio: it could have been more

The Reds beat Newcastle 3-0 at Anfield yesterday but it could and maybe should, have been double that.

"It was a very important game for us. We know that Newcastle are in a very difficult position and we knew they would come here and fight right until the end," said Aurelio.

"But I think we controlled the game and once we scored we began to dominate more and more.

"In the end we could have scored more goals. We hit the crossbar three times and created a lot of chances.

"We know that if Manchester United do make a mistake, goal difference could be important. At the start of the match our priority was to win the game, but we also knew that if we could score more goals it would be even better.

"Maybe we should be a bit disappointed because we should have scored more than three goals after creating so many chances, but the main thing is that we are three points closer and can now build on a good performance and an important result."
