My best goal says Crouch

Last updated : 28 September 2006 By Al Campbell
Crouch volleyed home an acrobatic overhead kick to put the Reds 3-0 up last night and after the game agreed that that special finish was his best ever Liverpool goal.

"It was a special moment for me to score that goal at the Kop end. I'd have to say it's the best of my Liverpool career so far. You don't get many goals like that, usually they go over the stand but thankfully that one went into the net and got us the win," said the striker.

"It's obviously frustrating to have been on the bench over recent games because you always want to play. But at a club this size you know you'll be out of the team every now and again and you just have to make sure you're ready when selected.

"I thought we played well in the first half tonight and then when we scored the third maybe we thought the game was over. Credit to them for coming back into it and it was a bit worrying at the end.

"The important thing is we've won the game and picked up the three points. That's what matters at the end of the night."
