Gerrard: We need to build on this

"I think we've surprised people," said the Liverpool skipper after the game. "I think people though we were going to sit back here and defend and go for a 0-0 draw.

"But we knew we could punish these on the counter attack. We've watched the tapes and we knew they would push for the win so we punished them on the counter and we've played well. That's the best we've play away from home for a while.

"We came here to win the match. Credit to the players and we deserved the win.

"We've been disappointing with our away form in the league. We need to put that right and that was the idea tonight.

"We need to build on this away performance. We've got 10 games left in the league and we're in the last eight here.

"There's still a bit to play for and hopefully we can make the fans happy at the end of the season."
