CROUCH: JOB DONE, NOW BRING ON CHELSEA

Paul Eaton 12 April 2007

Peter Crouch reflected on Liverpool's quarter-final success over PSV Eindhoven and admitted: "It'd be a dream to beat Chelsea and reach the final."

Liverpool will now face Jose Mourinho's side over two legs with a place in the Athens final at stake for the winners against either Manchester United or AC Milan.

Crouch's winning strike last night was his seventh in the competition so far and the Reds' striker admits it was pleasing to maintain his recent excellent form.

He said: "It was a case of getting the job done on the night and that's what we did. It was never a spectacular game but we needed to be professional and we did the right things.

"All the lads were up for it before the game so there was no problem on that score. I think if it had stayed 0-0 then we would have shown more urgency to try and make sure we got a winner.

"I'm really pleased to have scored the goal. I've done well in this competition this season and I think my form of late has been good.

"Now we can look forward to the games with Chelsea. They're a tough team so we know it's going to be difficult, but we're all desperate to get back into another final and for me it would be a dream come true if we could do it."
