Gerrard & Carra delighted with the points

Stevie Gerrard was only thinking about victory yesterday when he took his penalty. It was certainly a pressure penalty with only a few minutes left but he converted it in style and had this to say:

"When I was stepping up to take the penalty I was just thinking about the three points," he says. "We've improved on the road this season without getting the results, but this is a step in the right direction for us. It's nice to get the three points."

Carra produced another classy defensive display and was rewarded by being named man of the match. He was happy to get our first Premiership away win of the season:

"We know it's important to start doing better away." "We've been a bit frustrated away from home this season. Today we scored two goals and didn't concede so that's an improvement. In other games this season we either haven't scored or, when we have, we've only come away with a point. "This win should give us a lot of confidence now. The main thing was to get the three points and I think we deserved them."

If we win our two games in hand we will be in a decent position. Hopefully we will be able to keep up the momentum after the International break. It shouldn't be a problem as we are playing Portsmouth at home.
