Reds boss boosts Biscan

Biscan was the only Red to complete all 90 minutes of the match - though many would say this decision was a vain attempt to finally offload the under-performing player to an unsuspecting club - and Houllier admits that his performance was a pleasing aspect of the 3-1 victory.

Houllier said: "Igor is very quick and not many people beat him for pace. He did well."
