Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has heaped praise on his side following their 5-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Gerrard was forced to miss the match with a hamstring injury, but that did not stop the Merseysiders from running riot at White Hart Lane.

However, the midfielder has called for caution with regards to the team's chances of winning the title this season.

"It was unbelievable. You could have picked 11 man of the matches," Gerrard told Sky Sports News.

"We are title contenders, but it's important to be realistic. There are some fantastic teams in the league so there are a lot big games and hurdles before we become real title contenders."

The victory has seen Liverpool move up to second place in the Premier League table, two points behind leaders Arsenal.
