Yossi Benayoun was delighted with his goal for Liverpool in their victory over Sunderland.

"I'm happy with the goal, but the most important thing is the points," Benayoun told liverpoolfc.tv.

"After we lost against Middlesbrough, it was important to come back to winning ways. Now we have time to think about Real Madrid next week.

"We were very disappointed. We expected to beat Middlesbrough - but we did a job tonight.

"It is important for everyone to show the supporters - even if it is not to win the league but to finish second and do our best."
