Two goal Kuyt was man of the match as the Reds moved to within a point of fourth place with yesterday's 2-0 win over Tottenham. After the game Rafa Benitez was quick to praise the striker.
"He was working very hard and maybe he could have scored four today. His commitment is always 100 per cent, so we are pleased for him," said the boss.
"He has experience and has scored a lot of goals in Holland and here. Normally Gerrard will take our penalties, but he can do it well too."
