Benitez thrilled with Liverpool scoring power

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is delighted with his free-scoring team this season.

They have topped 100 goals for the campaign and Sunday's victory ensured that they now have scored more goals in a Premier League season than at any time under the Spaniard.

And apart from Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard, two other players - Yossi Benayoun and Ryan Babel - are in double figures for the campaign with Dirk Kuyt needing just one more to join them.

Benitez said: "I am pleased that Steven and Fernando have now scored 50 goals between them this season, but we also have others in double figures.

"Benayoun and Babel have both got into double figures and Kuyt needs just one more.

"We have now scored more goals in a league season than at any time since I have been manager, so that shows our improvement."
