Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with the character shown for their 2-1 win at West Ham.
The Hammers took a 12th-minute lead through Lucas Paqueta before Cody Gakpo and Joel Matip found the net for the visitors.
Klopp later said: "I loved the first half, we played really well, controlled the game then bang 1-0 down. But we kept playing, scored an incredible goal, kept playing, kept moving them then scored in the second half.
"We needed a set piece but I'm more than happy with that. Yesterday Joel had five of them [headers] and put them all in the fence but today put it in the net. I'm really pleased for Joel that he showed up today as it's not been his season so far.
"Maybe the boys have found their feet back and I liked the football we played. The first half was the best we have played in ages, it was convincing, it was us and we played football. We've had games this season where people have not recognised us and today we showed it is still in us and I'm pleased with that."
On their hopes of playing in Europe next season, he said: "If we win all our games we will be in Europe. People ask me about the Champions League but that's not in our hands as we don't play any of the teams above us.
"It's important we keep going, playing good football and at the end of the season we will see how many points we have. I would like to finish the season as us, then we can build on that next season.
"I want to take something out of this season for next season. If that's European competition that's great, if not we have to accept it. For a few weeks I want us to show our real faces instead of the nice one one game, then the ugly one the next."
On a potential handball by Thiago that was not given as a penalty, Klopp added: "I thought he just fell on the ball but I can understand [David] Moyes sees it completely differently."
