A 5-1 demolition of Newcastle yesterday confirmed Liverpool’s
position at the top of the table with Chelsea being held to a 2-2
draw by Fulham.
Rafa Benitez now sees his side three points clear of Phil
Scolari’s Blues, and a first title for the Merseyside club since
1990 is a real possibility.
Kuyt however is refusing to get too carried away, telling the
club’s website that the hardest part is still to come.
“It's great to be top at the end of the year, but it's just the
beginning for us” he said.
“We need to step up every week and in every game and try to
perform as well as that in the next match.
“I enjoyed playing up front again. Unfortunately I couldn't get
my goal but I'd prefer to play in a team like this and win 5-1,
than score every week somewhere else.
“I really enjoyed the game and it caps a good Christmas period
in which we have picked up six very important points and scored
eight goals along the way.”
