The Dutchman scored twice as Liverpool beat Wigan 3-2 at Anfield yesterday and earned the praise of his manager.

"We were talking about Kuyt not scoring too many goals in the league but today, playing as a striker, he got two. The understanding between him and Robbie Keane was good," said Benitez.

"It is always the same. Kuyt is a player every manager would want in his squad. He showed again that he can score goals - something we know he can do."
