Kuyt: It was an important win

The Holland international scored a brilliant header at the Reebok to make him Liverpool's joint leading scorer in the Premier League this season alongside Fernando Torres. The pair have five league goals apiece.

Despite Rafael Benitez's men losing top spot on goal difference after Chelsea's win at West Bromwich Albion, the Reds number 18 insists it is vital the Reds concentrate on their own game and keep winning.

"It was really important to win today and we are really happy with the result," said Kuyt.

"It's always tough to come to Bolton and beat them but we did well. They worked really hard but I think we deserved to win.

"They gave it everything they had in the second half and were a really physical team.

"They tried to play long balls, and even though we didn't have as much possession in the second half than the first we still had big chances and we are really happy with the 2-0 win."

On his goal, Kuyt was quick to praise Fabio Aurelio for the assist with a pinpoint cross from the left.

"It was a great cross from Fabio and it was a good goal," he said. "Sometimes you need to be a bit lucky to score a goal like this but the cross made it easy for me."

The joint top scorer has been something of an unsung hero for the team this season having made big contributions on the right hand side and as a central striker.

The player revealed he doesn't mind where he plays as long as he can help the team in their quest for honours.

"It doesn't matter to me whether I play on the right or up front," said Kuyt. "The most important thing is to be involved and win the games and I think it's going well.

"For us we don't look further than the next game. We don't look too much ahead because every game is difficult.

"We just have to keep focused and be ready for the next game."
