REDS GET WELCOME BOOST

Liverpool kicked on from the weekend's dismal FA Cup exit and beat Levski Sofia 2-0 at Anfield with two super strikes.

Gerard Houllier can rest easy after a strong show of support from the local Anfield faithful committed to both their club and their boss.

The side clearly looked to be lacking in confidence but when Gerrard struck the confidence returned both on the pitch and off, and the reds can now look forward to next Wednesday's 2nd leg in Bulgaria.
