Liverpool moved to within a point of fourth place with yesterday's 2-0 win over Spurs and Degen was happy to play his part.

"It was a really important result for the team and everyone involved with the club," said the Swiss international.

"The whole team showed great togetherness and we fought for the victory for the whole 90 minutes.

"We've had a difficult time recently, but I am really pleased after this win. I didn't play for three months but now I've played three games in seven days and feel I have done okay. I have waited for a chance and I must now keep fighting and try to impress.

"I think I can improve a lot. I haven't had the best of luck with injuries during my time with Liverpool and I know there is still more to come from me. I have only played at around 60 per cent of my potential and hope I can show much, much more."
