Liverpool supremo John W Henry was at Sunderland to see their victory yesterday.
Henry was delighted and indicated talks with manager Kenny Dalglish to secure a permanent deal are imminent.
"What is going on in that regard is private," he said.
"It is something called the Liverpool way and you do these things behind closed doors. I am not going to talk about these things but he has done very well.
"We have to have a lot of days like today to finish fifth."
