Rodgers rates Liverpool's Hull win as best of campaign

Brendan Rodgers was absolutely delighted with his Liverpool side after they beat Hull City 2-0 on New Year's Day.

Goals from Daniel Agger and superstar Luis Suarez allowed the Reds to bounce back from a two-game losing streak and the manner in which they performed was a major positive according to a very proud Rodgers.

"I said to the players afterwards that I thought that was our best win of the season," Rodgers told Sky Sports.

"In a lot of games we've been vibrant with great energy, scored goals and performed well, as well as won.

"But on the back of the games that we've had over this period - and to play with a lot of the same players against a team that won their last Premier League game 6-0 - we knew we were going to have to tough it out and dig in.

"We might not have always been at our best, but we got two great goals, had other opportunities and actually restricted Hull to no shots on target.

"I'm very, very pleased with today because it was a great victory for us."

The win allowed Liverpool to move up to fourth on the table, replacing Merseyside rivals Everton, as Hull remained 10th.
