Rodgers: We Were Good Value

Brendan Rodgers hailed Liverpool’s ‘big win’ in their 3-2 victory over Spurs.

Goals from Suarez, Downing and a late penalty from Steven Gerrard led to the win and Rodgers was happy that the team has found their form.

"It is a big win," he told The Guardian. |It is a big game when you are playing against an opponent that has been challenging for the Champions League for the last three or four years. It's a few years since Liverpool have beaten Tottenham. This is another marker in terms of our growth."

"We're on a great run and we knew this would be a severe test of our qualities and our character.

"They're a team on great form and have been together for a few years. For us to get the three points was fantastic and I'm delighted for the players because they've worked ever so hard.

"It's not important that we're sixth. It's just important that we continue to move – it was always going to be difficult early on. But you could see the mentality on Sunday. This was a real test and I think we had to show different characteristics to what we have in the last few weeks. We've been comfortable in a lot of games and been able to control them. But against a top side we were able to come through. We had to make some changes and once we did that we were good value."
