Benayoun dedicates winner to Liverpool fans

Yossi Benayoun has dedicated his winner against Fulham to Liverpool's fans.

"We have the best fans in the world," Benayoun told liverpoolfc.tv. "You can see that every time we play, home and away they are always supporting us.

"To see them celebrate like that at the end, it was nice to score just for them.

"It was a big goal but the main thing is it gave us the three points and puts the pressure on Manchester United and hopefully they will lose points against Aston Villa. It was a great feeling to score in the last minute because we missed a lot of chances and you think it's one of those days when nothing goes in, so to score at the end made everyone really happy.

"I think we have proved in a lot of games this season that we will fight to the end and give our best to the end. We have won a lot of games this season in the last minute and that shows we have a strong character.

"There is a long way to go. Hopefully we can continue winning and they will drop some points. The win at Old Trafford was very important for us because it showed everyone that they are beatable.

"Fulham is a difficult place to come and get three points but we have done it. It was an important win, especially coming on the back of the international break.

"We have confidence but we are only thinking about the next game, and that is Chelsea in the Champions League."
