Glen Johnson was thrilled to win the Carling Cup with Liverpool.

He admitted that one of the reasons he joined the club three years ago was to be part of celebrations like the ones witnessed in the capital last night.

"It's what you join Liverpool Football Club for," Johnson told liverpoolfc.tv. "It's a fantastic club, we've got some great stars and players and obviously with medals - the more the merrier!"

"It would mean the world (to go back). That's what football is about - getting to finals and winning these trophies. That's what it's all about, that's what we work hard for day in, day out.

"Words can't describe it. It's fantastic - it's what the lads have worked so hard for and I think we deserved it. We didn't play great throughout the game but I think there was only going to be one winner."
