Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has described his side's display during Sunday's Premier League victory over Tottenham Hotspur as "outstanding".

Steven Gerrard netted a late penalty at Anfield as the Reds came from 2-1 down to claim a 3-2 win.

"I think our character in the game was outstanding," Rodgers told Sky Sports News.

"Earlier on in the season that game might have tipped against us but the longer we've worked together now the more cohesion we've shown to keep going.

"We're making this a difficult place to play these days and I thought the players were brilliant against an outstanding side in Tottenham and we keep the run going."

Sunday's win has moved Liverpool up to sixth position in the Premier League table.
