Houllier: Win was just what we needed

Gerard Houllier breathed a sigh of relief after Michael Owen's record-breaking goal ended Liverpool's worst run for two years.

Owen's first-half strike against Vitesse Arnhem was his 15th away goal in Europe for the club and meant the Reds will take a slender 1-0 lead back to Anfield for the second leg of this Uefa Cup third-round tie.
