"When Emile is at his best he is one of the best strikers in Europe," Houllier said after the game.
"He is quick and powerful, can use both feet and when he turns and runs at the defender he can be unstoppable at times. His goal was brilliant.
"Harry's was a great goal made after a good pass from Michael Owen. Harry also made the pass to Emile for his goal and showed his quality."
