“You have to give credit where it’s due, Liverpool worked their socks off. They closed us down and pressed us,” said Redknapp. "I have said before you never get an easy game here.

"You stand out there and hear the crowd sing - it's the most amazing sight in football, and it lifts the players.

"I said to my players 'Don't think they are going to come out here and give a half-hearted performance because they have got some good players missing.

"Their players responded to the crowd and deserved the win in fairness.

“Dirk Kuyt never stopped working and chasing, the whole team played with great enthusiasm."
