Liverpool defender Martin Kelly says Steven Gerrard's return to full fitness has lifted everyone at the club.

Kelly feels Gerrard's presence played a part in lifting the crowd inside Anfield, which in turn helped Liverpool make a positive opening to their clash against Wolves.

"It was good to get back to winning ways (in the league) and I think we needed the three points," Kelly told Liverpoolfc.tv. "We had the fans behind us and the return of Stevie especially lifted the crowd. We're happy with the win."
