The Reds came through a testing Europa League play-off against Trabzonspor with a late 2-1 win in Turkey which was enough to put them through 3-1 on aggregate. However, it was far from convincing and it needed an own goal and Kuyt's late winner to secure their passage. The Reds' one-goal advantage had been wiped out in the fourth minute when Teofilo Gutierrez side-footed past Jose Reina. Kuyt, persistently linked with a move to Inter Milan, told ESPN: "Everyone has said a lot about my future but as far as I know my future is at Liverpool. "I've had a great time so far and I hope my future will be great here. All I want is to win trophies with Liverpool." Defender Jamie Carragher was delighted with his side's turnaround. "It was very tough," he said. "They are a very good side, they showed that in the first leg at Anfield." He added: "The lads showed great character and concentration...not just to go through but to beat them with some of our top players not playing, is a great result." Reds boss Roy Hodgson said: "We had the toughest possible start but I thought we got over it and throughout the game played well. Quite frankly we should have had the game sewn up long before we did. "They were fresh off a win over Fenerbahce here, they are last season's champions, they don't lose at home and we beat them at home." Hodgson added: "I'm quite pleased really because I've been invited by UEFA to a conference next week and it would have been a bit embarrassing to go there as one of the only coaches not to have a team in Europe! "So I'm delighted we got the victory."
