It was a sweet success for the Spanish coach, who can now focus on Wednesday's crucial clash against West Ham.

Benitez said: "Every win is important when you are fighting for fourth place. You need to put the other teams around you under pressure and we have done that."

He continued: "As we have a game in hand, it depends on what we do. You do not need to see the table every day. If we can win against West Ham, then we go go into the game after that with confidence."

A bizarre own goal from Jussi Jaaskelainen after 11 minutes sent Liverpool on their way to an emphatic victory.

The Bolton goalkeeper turned a shot from Steven Gerrard into his own net with his face and his side never really recovered.

Ryan Babel and Fabio Aurelio extended their lead before Tamir Cohen, son of former Liverpool favourite Avi, pulled a goal back.

Skipper Steven Gerrard told Setanta Sports 1: "As captain of the team, we are disappointed with where we are in the league.

"We need to keep together and keep fighting to the end.

"It was massive result. We have been inconsistent so it's important to get the points."
