Over 42,000 Reds turned up for last night's Carling Cup victory over Reading and after the game Rafa Benitez thanked them for their support.

"I want to thank the fans for coming out in bad weather to support us and it was good to score four fantastic goals and entertain them," said the Liverpool boss.

"The important thing is we are in the next round and there were many positives to take from this game. We played some really good attacking football and I know we conceded some goals in the final five minutes of the game but that was because we wanted to keep attacking."
