"It was a good day for me and it was great to score three goals. But the most important thing is the three points. We played a lot of good football at times and won the match - that is more important to me than scoring goals," said Benayoun.
"I started on the right but Rafa told me to move around and try and get in between the lines. Every time I did that I found space so I could turn and go forward.
"I was lucky because the rest of the team provided me with good passes to score.
"It was the perfect day for me."
