Kuyt: Now let's kick on

Derby hero Dirk Kuyt thinks the 2-0 victory over Everton can be the catalyst for a renewed Barclays Premier League charge.

The Holland international scored the second in a game which capped an unbeaten November for Liverpool.
 
It leaves the Reds fifth in the table following draws for Man City, Aston Villa and Tottenham.
 
Now Kuyt believes it's time to consign our disappointing start - and early Champions League exit - to the history books and concentrate on making 2009-10 memorable for the right reasons.
 
"We're really happy with the result," said Kuyt, who netted for the first time since September 19.
 
"It's one of the most important games of our season and to beat Everton always gives you a special feeling. I'm really happy for the team and the supporters.
 
"A derby is more important than almost every other game, and to win this means a lot for us.
 
"The result is more important than the performance in a derby. You know it's going to be hard to play football and you need to show character. We beat Debrecen with a clean sheet and we did the same here, so hopefully we bring some of our confidence back.
 
"It's a good result and hopefully we can take the confidence from this into our next couple of games. It's been a while since I scored, but for me that's not the most important thing.
 
"When things don't go your way it's disappointing. It has been a very hard period for us but, like the manager says, we have to move on now and look forward. This was a good win, especially as it gets us back in the top five.
 
"Liverpool have had a great history in the Champions League, including the three years I have been here. We have had some special nights and we want them again.
 
"We needed to win, and that's what matters most. This win has come at the right moment for us. Everybody knows that we have struggled in the Premier League this season and haven't done well in the Champions League. But we have to move on."
 
Rafa Benitez's men had Pepe Reina to thank for maintaining their lead in the second half after a sensational double save to deny Tim Cahill and Marouane Fellaini.
 
"Everton put us under a lot of pressure with the long balls because they have quality players in the air like Fellaini and Cahill," said Kuyt. "They caused us a few problems but I thought the defence and Pepe Reina were superb.
 
"Pepe made a great double save, and for me he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He definitely showed that with the save. We work hard to get results and we've all come to Liverpool to win trophies."
