Spanish defender Alvaro Arbeloa has heaped praised on team-mate Steven Gerrard after watching him score three of Liverpool's five goals against Aston Villa on Sunday.
The Spain international suggested that the Reds captain should claim plenty of individual awards for his performances throughout the 2008/09 campaign.
"Stevie was excellent. He deserves all the credit he gets because he is a key player for us and performs like a true captain," Arbeloa is quoted as saying in The Sun.
"I think he is having an amazing season. He deserves to be the best."
The Merseyside based outfit moved to within one point of Premier League leaders Manchester United after their latest victory.
Liverpool were a goal to the good just eight minutes into Sunday's fixture, and the 26-year-old feels scoring early goals could be the key to success.
"We had a really good start to the game and I think that kind of first-half display is the key.
"If we can start really well it can be important because an early goal can open up a tight match.
"We have to keep going, build on the momentum of the past week or so and make sure we fight right up until the end of the season."
