Sissoko scored his first ever Liverpool goal during Saturday's 2-0 win at Sunderland. The players were all delighted to see the midfielder off the mark.

"Momo deserved his goal, we were happy for him and really excited. It was funny for him. I could hardly believe it, it was a great goal," said Reina.

"Some other times he was close like the Barcelona game at home. But it was important for us to get ahead and to relax.

"The second goal was a good counter attack and a good finish. We'd created a lot of chances and missed many of them but it's important to create them.

"It is difficult when we come back after the international break and play an early kick off. The other teams play on Saturday evening or even Sunday and it's not easy for us.

"The clean sheet is important for team confidence but I've said many times the three points is the most important thing and we got them."
