Soccer: Westerveld tightens grip on goal spot

Liverpool goalkeeper Sander Westerveld insists he will stay and fight for his place even if reports linking Polish international Jerzy Dudek with a move to Anfield prove to be correct.

Reds boss Gerard Houllier is reportedly in the market for a new goalkeeper, and Westerveld hardly helped his own cause by allowing Dean Holdsworth’s long-range shot to slip through his grasp as Bolton upset Liverpool 2-1 on Monday night.
