| Dirk Kuyt reflected on Liverpool's dramatic victory in the Carling Cup final and insisted: "Belief has won us the trophy." Kuyt thought he had won the game for the Reds with a late strike in extra time to give Kenny Dalglish's men a 2-1 lead, only for Cardiff to force a penalty shoot-out with a last-gasp goal from Ben Turner. After both Steven Gerrard and Charlie Adam had missed from the spot, Liverpool regained their composure from 12 yards and eventually ran out 3-2 winners in the penalty competition. "We never stopped believing and that is why we have won the trophy," said Kuyt. "Even when Steven missed his penalty I said to him we would still get back into it as there were a number of penalties to be taken. "I knew when it came to my penalty that I had to score. I had cleared off the line 30 seconds from the end as well and scored in extra time, so it was a good afternoon for me and for the team. "The most important thing in football is belief and we showed today we have that in the squad. It's a great day for us." www.liverpoolfc.tv |
