"It was the perfect start," said the Liverpool skipper.
"A home win, three points and a clean sheet and we played some really good football against a decent side.
"It's been a great week for me personally but personal things are put to one side when you go onto the pitch.
"My goal was really nice. I was really quiet second half but I was pleased with the goal.
"We've had a decent run of late and it was important to keep that going today.
"We were disappointed to lose at Blackburn because we've been playing well, but the idea now is to keep going and keep trying to close the gap on the top teams every week."
