"It was really important to win today and we are really happy with the result," said Kuyt.
"It's always tough to come to Bolton and beat them but we did well. They worked really hard but I think we deserved to win.
"They gave it everything they had in the second half and were a really physical team.
"They tried to play long balls, and even though we didn't have as much possession in the second half than the first we still had big chances and we are really happy with the 2-0 win."
