Liverpool winger Stewart Downing believes that his side showed a clinical edge during their 4-0 win over Fulham that has been lacking at times this season.

Liverpool winger Stewart Downing has hailed his side's ruthlessness in front of goal during their 4-0 win over Fulham this afternoon.

Downing scored one and set up another to help the Reds record the emphatic victory over the Cottagers, and was subsequently named as the man of the match for his performance.

However, the former Aston Villa man was keen to focus on the team's performance, and believes that they can use this result to kick-start their season.

"Coming off a bad result against Villa, we let ourselves down, and the manager said we had to bounce back tonight and I thought we did that in style," Downing told ESPN.

"I'm just trying to work hard and take the opportunity when I'm given it. I'm here to play and as long as I get the opportunity I'll try my best.

"I think we've been a bit nervy at home at times but I think it's time to get a ruthlessness at home. The goals you've seen tonight are four quality goals and it's a case of doing it consistently and not now and again. We need to kick on in the new year and climb the table."

The result leaves Liverpool eighth in the Premier League table, just five points off third.
