Liverpool boss Benitez: No pressure on Keane

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez insists there's no pressure on Robbie Keane to break his scoring duck.

After victory over Everton, Benitez told liverpoolfc.tv: "If you win and he is playing well, we are pleased.

"If he can score it will be better for him, better maybe for the headlines for two or three days but clearly for me the key is winning and the team playing well.

"Robbie was good but also Steven Gerrard was very good with his discipline in the middle and Xabi Alonso too - they were controlling the middle, they were passing the ball very well."
