Suarez not bothered by personal accolades at Liverpool

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez says winning individual accolades doesn't mean anything to him unless the team is winning.

The impressive Uruguayan was given the man-of-the-match award for his performance in Sunday's 3-0 win over Newcastle United but said the only thing that mattered to him was the fact the Reds moved into fifth place on the table and he now has his sights set on a Europa League finish.

"It does not matter that I keep getting these man of the match awards," he told liverpoolfc.tv.

"All that matters is that we keep on winning games and going up the table.

"The Europa League is our objective. When I came I wanted to help Liverpool get there but when the second half of the season started it looked really difficult.

"But we have kept winning games, we have played really well and got some important victories, and we have just been hoping that Tottenham drop points.

"There are still three games left and we have to prepare ourselves really well to make sure we get all the points we can.

"Tottenham at home (on May 15) is going to be a great game. That will be the most important game of our season if we want to dream about going to the Europa League."
