"They gave us a bit of a lift and more energy and that's what we needed. They made the difference.

"Pacheco came on tonight and did well again.

"He's a good lad as well and all of the lads get on with him very well. We are delighted for him to get his first team chance, which he deserves."

Carragher was equally delighted that the Reds had kept a clean sheet at home, with away goals being so vital in European competition.

"In Europe you never want to concede a goal so we have to be pleased with that," he said.

"We would have liked to have scored a few more goals and kill the tie off but it's still alive now and it will be a difficult game over there.

"They were very organised and we have to give them credit for that. It's up to us to try and break them down and in the end we did.

"It would have been nice to get a few more but hopefully we can get an away goal and finish the game off next week."

Carragher is now looking forward to taking on Manchester City at Eastlands on Sunday on the back of such of a pleasing win. But he hopes the Reds don't have to come from behind again to take the points, as they did in the corresponding fixture last season, eventually winning 3-2.

"It was a good win for us in the end but we don't want to be in that situation again when we find ourselves 2-0 down at half-time," he added.

"Hopefully we can get the three points and we go there with confidence.

"It's a big game. They are looking to establish themselves in the top four and we want to get there as well so it's all to play for."
