Johnson delighted with dramatic Liverpool triumph

Liverpool defender Glen Johnson was delighted with victory over Stoke City.

Johnson's first goal since December 2012, stooping to convert a low header after Rickie Lambert's header had come back off the crossbar, gave his side a 1-0 victory over Stoke.

Having ended a three-match losing run in the league the defender believes a top-four finish is still very much within their grasp.

"You enjoy winning games, scoring goals and being involved in assists - they are the great parts of football so on a personal level I am very happy," he said.

"Nothing has changed from last year. The backroom staff, the playing staff are fighting for the same cause and the objective is still the same, but in football you go through some sticky patches.

"The quality is not in doubt, it is about confidence and trying to put a run of performances together."
