Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen is delighted with his current form.

Allen has been outstanding for the Reds in recent games.

"I love to go out and win games, so when you're part of a performance like that against a team that's the reigning champions, it's a great feeling," the 24-year-old told liverpoolfc.com.

"I think I played really well and I think it was back to the sort of levels I know I can produce. Touch wood, apart from this small niggle, if I can stay fit and keep myself in the team then I can hope to improve those performances more and more.

"The last couple of seasons, when I've started games, I think I've been part of big victories, great team performances and we've won our fair share. I'm proud of that and I think that's where most of my strengths lie."
