Sunderland<\/a> 2-0 at the Stadium of Light.<\/p>\nA Dirk Kuyt penalty and Luis Suarez wonder strike sealed the points for the visitors.
It now closes the gap on fifth-placed Tottenham to four points as they Reds strive to get into Europe next season.<\/p>\n
And the Scot was pleased with the professionalism that won his side the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir attitude and commitment was what won us the game,\u201d Dalglish told Sky Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cThe players had a difficult game on Thursday night that never went our way and it is credit to them that they picked themselves up and were really determined. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey went out and stamped their authority on the game and we were deserved winners.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s opener was steeped in controversy as the Reds were given a dubious penalty after the linesman had adjudged the foul to be inside the box on Jay Spearing but Dalglish refused to get drawn into the incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a foul, I can\u2019t see where I am standing whether it was in the box or outside but it was definitely a free kick,\u201d Dalglish continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo if it\u2019s inside the box then it is a penalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt we started well anyway, so whatever the penalty incident did to Sunderland was not really my concern. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe kept playing and we defended, when we had to defend and tried to break as often as we could and we got our reward for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andy Carroll started his first game for Liverpool in the Premier League and the big striker had a great opportunity to open his account for his new club but he saw his powerful header cleared off the line by Lee Cattermole.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless Dalglish was pleased with what he saw from the former Newcastle United striker and insisted that his partnership with other big name signing Luis Suarez will flourish.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a great effort for him to play 90 minutes on Thursday and 70 minutes here,\u201d Dalglish continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has not scored yet but he will score, he is a great asset, him and Luis [Suarez} linked up a couple of times, there is a lot to look forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n
