Xherdan Shaqiri: I can achieve my biggest dream with Liverpool

Xherdan Shaqiri says his biggest dream is to win the Premier League title with Liverpool.

The Swiss proved his worth to the Reds after capitalising on a rare start by scoring in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Everton.

Speaking after the game, Shaqiri said: "Obviously I am really happy. Especially against Everton, it is a big derby. I was very happy when I knew I was playing and I wanted to contribute to the win. I have been working hard to come back. I feel good and I feel fresh. Hopefully I can help the team more.

"I think we trust each other a lot. It doesn't matter how we play. We changed the formation a little bit this week so it was new. And it was not simple for some players to come into this game but we managed very well. We won today really good. There are a lot of games to come now so we need to stay on top.

"We are grounded. We know where we come. We take it game by game and that's the most important thing. We don't need to think about winning titles. My biggest dream is to win the title with this club and give it to the fans. So we will try everything. We have to focus on the pitch, stay grounded and work hard every day. If we win, it will be amazing but we still have a long way to go."
