Liverpool obtained six points from six in the Champions League with an impressive 3-1 over PSV at Anfield. Robbie Keane scored his first goal for the club while Steven Gerrard scored his 100th on a landmark night for the Reds.
Steven Gerrard finally broke his 99 duck for Liverpool after failing to score in his last two outings. To his brace in Marseille, he added another strike tonight - a stunning 74mph effort from 25 yards into the Kop.
The Liverpool captain was quick to shrug off the significance of his ton-goal and instead paid tribute to his colleagues and declare his happiness with the result. While thanking the team's supporters, he eyed more major silverware for the Reds.
He told Sky Sports: "It's fantastic for me but we came to win the game and to get in the driving seat in the group.
"It's always a fantastic feeling scoring in front of the Kop and it's nice to say 'thank you' for their support over the years."
"If you win matches and play well your belief grows and we are very confident we can win. There's a good bond off the pitch and we're all in it together.
"But we've won nothing. It's a good start but it's important to put silverware on table this year - we've gone two years without."
Robbie Keane went 10 games without a goal for Liverpool, but got off the mark tonight with a half-volley that had him spinning cartwheels. He is pleased to have scored, but is not overly concerned with its significance, and hopes it is the first of many.

He said: "It's great. I've got a monkey off my back, it's been a few games. It's always nice to get the first goal but I wasn't too worried about it, it was just people talking. I hope I score a lot more for this club."
