The Reds beat Man Ure 2-1 at Anfield yesterday thanks to a Wes Brown own goal following a Van der Saar howler and Ryan Babel. Jamie Carragher says Liverpool can take a lot of confidence as well as the three points from the game.

"It's a great result for us. Not just for the three points, but for the belief and confidence it will give us. We've just beaten the best side in Europe and a team we have a lot of respect for. It should do wonders for our confidence," said our vice-captain.

"For too long we've been off the pace in the league and it's been all about Man United and Chelsea. Now we've gone to the top of the league and put a bit of breathing space between ourselves and United.

"We'll see at the end of the season what this result has done for us but hopefully it will spur us on."
