Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez was delighted to see Steven Gerrard break another record after scoring in their 2-0 win over Wolves.

It was Gerrard's 75th league goal of the decade - lifting him above Michael Owen on 74 to become Liverpool's top scorer in the Noughties.

Benitez is hopeful his No.8 will now embark on a purple patch to get his tally for the next decade up and running.

He said: "It was very important for us and for him. If he can score goals again he will have more confidence and that will be really good for the team."
