Last updated : 23 September 2006 By Al Campbell
Goals from Mark Gonzalez, Dirk Kuyt and John Arne Riise gave the Reds a comfortable win in the end and after the game Rafa Benitez spoke of his delight in his team's performance.

"It was a good game, a difficult game. We knew how Spurs were going to play and in the first half it was hard for us to make clear chances," said the Reds' boss.

"In the second period we were better. We got the ball wide earlier and the quality of players we now have meant we were able to make better opportunities. Tottenham had one good chance in the first half and one in the second but apart from that I thought we were the better side.

"I'm happy with the team and happy with the confidence we have after winning again."
