Two-goal Dirk Kuyt hailed Liverpool's latest comeback against Wigan Athletic yesterday.

"It was unbelievable," Kuyt told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"I think we showed a lot of character today and it helped us come back from behind to win the game."

"We knew that if we kept trying and showed some of that character then we would be able to score goals, and that proved to be the case today. We always believed we could win.

"We didn't play very well at the start of the match, but at the end of the day the three points are the most important thing for us."

The Latics were reduced to 10 men when Antonio Valencia was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 74th minute, but Kuyt insists the incident was not the main turning point of the match.

"We were always going to get a few more chances playing against 10 men, but I think it was our hard work that made the difference in the end," he added.

"We tried everything we could to beat them, and it's good to score the goals, but I think the most important thing today is winning the match - that is what makes me happy."
