Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish was delighted with matchwinner Craig Bellamy in victory over Aston Villa.

The Wales forward produced a stylish performance on his return to the starting line-up, firing home the opener from close range before delivering the corner for Martin Skrtel to seal the three points.

Asked what he thought of his No.39's showing, Dalglish told his post-match press conference: "He's excellent. He's been fantastic since he came in. He's good in the dressing room, he's good on the training pitch and he's good on the pitch. He's no problem whatsoever for us. He's been excellent and is really good to have around the place. That's another really good performance from him there."
