Benitez was happy with the result as the Reds got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Wolves at Anfield.
"We have to win, we won. We kept a clean sheet, scored two goals and created chances. We have to go forward now," he said.
"The main thing was to get three points and now we have to be ready. The fans can enjoy three or four days and we can see if we can beat Aston Villa. Then we'll be closer.
"The second half we started really well, pressing and some corners. We were doing the right things, especially at the beginning of the second half.
"We know it's a long race but we have to start winning games in a row. We have won today and hopefully we can win the next one, then it'll be easy to keep the confidence high."
