Liverpool defender Fabio Aurelio has set his sights on Premier League glory, insisting Sunday's comeback win against Manchester City highlights his side's newfound grit.
The Reds were trailing 2-0 at half-time against the Citizens, but a second-half brace from Fernando Torres and a late winner from Dirk Kuyt saw them claim a memorable victory at Eastlands.
The win kept the Merseysiders' unbeaten record intact, and only goal difference separates Rafael Benitez's men from league leaders Chelsea.
The season may be less than two months old, but Anfield is buzzing amid its tenants' impressive start and thoughts are already turning toward the possibility of silverware come May.
Aurelio has added his name to the list of players talking up Liverpool's title chances, as he insisted the fighting spirit they displayed against City is indicative of a club ready to end their 18-year drought.
"The win shows how strong Liverpool are now," the Brazilian left-back told the press. "The form we showed to win was unbelievable but we believed in ourselves right until the end.
"It's not easy to play against Man City, especially when you go 2-0 down. But we came back and I think it shows we're stronger than before. It was a great, great result.
"It was really important to win this game. If we want to win the title, these kind of points are really important."
