Kuyt delivers killer blow as Reds roll on

LIVERPOOL manager Kenny Dalglish felt Liverpool deserved victory as his team finally saw off Sparta Prague to reach the Europa League last 16 last night.

Dirk Kuyt grabbed the only goal of a testing tie when he headed home five minutes from the end of the second leg at Anfield.

Both sides squandered numerous chances in an eventful, if scrappy, clash but Dalglish felt the Reds were rewarded for their superior endeavour when Kuyt profited from a late corner.
