Two-goal hero Dirk Kuyt was understandably in effervescent mood following after his side produced another impressive late show to come from behind to beat Wigan 3-2 on Saturday.
Liverpool had to find some inspiration and dig deep in order to comeback twice over the Athletics after Amr Zaki took the lead on both occasions, only for Dirk Kuyt and then Albert Riera to level the scoreline. The Dutchman then popped up with five minutes to go to seal the winner.
"It was unbelievable," Kuyt trumpeted to Liverpoolfc.tv.
"I think we showed a lot of character today and it helped us come back from behind to win the game."
"We knew that if we kept trying and showed some of that character then we would be able to score goals, and that proved to be the case today. We always believed we could win.
"We didn't play very well at the start of the match, but at the end of the day the three points are the most important thing for us.
"We were always going to get a few more chances playing against 10 men, but I think it was our hard work that made the difference in the end," he added, suggesting that Antonio Valencia's 74th minute sending-off was not the turning point.
"We tried everything we could to beat them, and it's good to score the goals, but I think the most important thing today is winning the match - that is what makes me happy."
Liverpool thus retained their unbeaten start to the season and also maintain their early pace with last season's league runners up, Chelsea.
