Gerrard urges Liverpool to kick-on from Everton win

Steven Gerrard is determined Liverpool will build on the victory over Everton and secure a top-four Premier League finish.

The Reds have shown greater consistency in recent weeks and produced another battling display to see off their Merseyside rivals at Anfield on Saturday.

"You always enjoy beating your local rivals but it was the way we did it that was really satisfying, particularly after losing a man after half an hour," Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo.

"I thought we showed fantastic character, a great attitude and I also thought we played some decent stuff at times. I thought it was a fully deserved win.

"You could see what it meant to everyone on the pitch at the end and it was the same again in the dressing room afterwards; everybody is still on a high.

"Now we have got to take that high into the next game. It's a tough one, Arsenal away always is. But we have used beating Everton as a platform in the past and we've got to do it again. We want to extend our run and go on to better things."
