RAFA BENITEZ has called on Robbie Keane to score against Manchester City this weekend.
The Liverpool boss is convinced the £19million summer signing can now kick on and start scoring regularly after breaking his duck against PSV in midweek.
Benitez was pleased with the strike in Europe and believes it now time for Keane to do it in the Premier League.
He said: "It was really important for Robbie to score.
"He will now have no pressure and more confidence. He has got his first for the club, but in Europe.
"I would want him now to go out and score his first Premier League goal for us in the next match."
Meanwhile, Keane has called on his team-mates to guard against complacency, ahead of Sunday's clash at Eastlands.
He said: "We don't want to get too cocky yet.
"It was only the first two games for us in the Champions League, and there are some tough ones still to play.
"But it does set us up nicely and we can concentrate now on Manchester City and hope that this form and momentum can continue."
