Confident Benitez challenges Liverpool strikers to reach 60-goal target for season

RAFAEL BENITEZ wants goals, goals, goals and an immediate return for his £40million (€59m) summer spending spree.

Benitez is well aware he is under intense pressure to produce a genuine title challenge and that, as Jose Mourinho points out, he cannot play the pauper any longer.

But he goes into the new campaign at Aston Villa brimming with confidence and positively gloating over the quality and options he now has.
