Liverpool trotted away from the Reebok Stadium with the win as Bolton Wanderers failed to take their chances. Man of the match Xabi Alonso told Sky Sports of the importance of maintaining a lofty position at the top of the league, and was happy with taking away maximum points.
Liverpool followed up the disappointment of a midweek Carling Cup exit with a solid win over Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League this lunchtime.
A goal on either side of the half sealed the Trotters' fate. Dirk Kuyt scored a well-worked team goal in the opening 45 minutes and Steven Gerrard put the tie to rest in the second.
Midfielder Xabi Alonso believes the points are more important than the performance, and told Sky Sports:
"We probably should have scored more but the most important thing is the points.
"It's important to be top [of the league]... we know we have to carry on though and we will see at the end of the season where we are," he said.
"There is confidence [in the team], we are scoring goals and winning games."
Manager Rafa Benitez added: "I think the win was deserved.
"We had two or three chances in the first half, we took one, got another in the second, and overall we were good for the win... we could have had four or five."
