Kuyt proud of record

Last updated : 17 September 2009 By Al Campbell
Kuyt's winner against Debreceni last night means he is now the Reds' joint third highest scorer in the European Cup with Terry McDermott on 12 goals. Only Steven Gerrard (14), and Ian Rush (28) have scored more.

"I didn't know about the record but I do now," said the Dutch international after the match.

"It's always nice to be important for the club, especially when it comes to Europe.

"Champions League games are always special, so I'm happy I scored again on Wednesday and now I'll try to keep going.

"What I would like to do is become more and more important for the team and try to do my best. I'm happy with my performances so far this season but I need to keep going.

"I'm feeling really confident. I've played the last two games in a slightly different position but for me that doesn't matter. I just want to be important for the team."
