Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard wants to see his side defend better as a team if they are to maintain their outside push for the Premier League title.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has called for the team to defend better as a whole if they are to stand a chance of winning the title.

The Reds beat Fulham 3-2 on Wednesday evening thanks to a stoppage-time winner from the captain, taking take them within four points of leaders Chelsea in the Premier League.

Although the skipper admits that they are dark horses for the title, Gerrard wants to see the team defend better collectively if they are to have an outside chance.

Speaking to the club's official website, Gerrard said: "I don't think we defended well enough but we showed plenty of guts and we never gave up. If you do that, more often than not you get the breaks - and we got one in the end. It was a great win for us.

"Against Arsenal, we showed how much class we've got. We showed we've got talent all over the pitch; at home, with the atmosphere behind us, you don't have to motivate yourself - you just go out and perform, and more often than not you play well.

"It's a great win for the lads. I got the final penalty, which is an important spot kick, but it was about the character and determination we showed."

Brendan Rodgers's side are currently fourth in the division.
