Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has stated that he wants his side to continue their fine form against Manchester City next Sunday.
The Reds went back to the top of the Premier League in dramatic fashion yesterday after beating West Ham United 2-1 at Upton Park.
Two Steven Gerrard penalties, in-between a controversial goal from Guy Demel, saw Liverpool move back into the driving seat.
And Manager Rodgers believes that his side were superb in the win yesterday, and are fully up for the fight ahead.
Rodgers stated in his post match interview.
“I thought we thoroughly deserved the win and we showed great character today. It was a brilliant win for us and keeps our run going.
“We were clearly the better team. West Ham had one shot on target, which was the goal.”
He continued to say.
“It’s nine games on the spin now, which is an incredible effort by the players and the staff. Today was a really tough game for us, now we will recover and reflect on the game.
“It is going to be a magnificent atmosphere at Anfield. The supporters really urged us on today and we want to see if we can get 10 in a row.”
