Gerrard impressed by Moreno goalscoring performance in Liverpool win

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard was delighted with Alberto Moreno's goalscoring performance in victory at Tottenham.

The Spanish full-back's effort - smashed into the bottom corner after a surge down the wing - was the side's third and perfectly sealed the result.

"I'm just glad we got the signing over the line because I had watched him quite a bit for Sevilla," Gerrard told Liverpoolfc.com of the defender.

"I had watched YouTube clips of him and I knew he was a flier, quick and very aggressive with and without the ball.

"He showed his aggression with the ball today with a terrific run and the finish at the end of it was just pure quality. If a Real Madrid or Barcelona player did that, everybody would be getting carried away. Give him credit - that was a top goal."
