Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was delighted with their thumping win over Fulham.
The win lifted Liverpool back into second place and lifted spirits after a disappointing defeat at leaders Arsenal last week.
"It was the perfect response," Gerrard told LFC TV.
"Earlier on in the week we were disappointed with our performances individually and collectively but the only way you can put that right is to bounce back.
"At home the onus is on us to take the game to the opposition. Every time we struggle at Anfield it is when we are slow out of the blocks and don't press aggressively."
