Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez hailed his side's defensive display, as the Reds beat Everton 2-0 in their Premiership game yesterday.
Benitez said he hoped the derby win would be a catalyst for the rest of the season.
"We needed to win," the Spaniard told BBC Sport.
"When you are not winning, you need a big game, and then everything can change.
"It was a great victory - everybody is really pleased. Today we worked so hard - they were tough and pushing and we did our job in defence and we had to play counter-attack."
