Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey is confident the team will continue to improve following their 3-2 win over West Ham United at Upton Park last night.
Glen Johnson had given the visitors the lead before Mark Noble converted from the spot following a handball by Joe Allen.
The Hammers went into the interval ahead thanks to a headed own goal from Steven Gerrard before the second-half turnaround.
First West Ham old boy Joe Cole levelled in the 76th minute, before No 9 the day in Luis Suarez's absence, Shelvey pressured James Collins into putting the ball into his own net three minutes later.
"I'm going to claim it [the goal], but the main thing is we got three points and it is important we kick on," Shelvey told Sky Sports 1.
"We got a new manager [in the summer] with a different way of playing.
"It is very exciting to be in it and the longer the season goes on the stronger we will become."
Liverpool proved they could win without Suarez. The Uruguay international was serving a one-match ban but the Reds struck to seal a win that sees them leapfrog West Ham in the table.
Gerrard, returning as captain, saw an early effort deflected behind for a corner following some good work by Shelvey.
West Ham's Matt Jarvis was getting a lot of the ball down but was soon found wanting when he was tested defensively.
Gerrard played the ball out to Johnson on the touchline and he cut inside Jarvis with ease before arrowing a strike past Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Raheem Sterling had two chances to double Liverpool's advantage, firstly firing wide of Jaaskelainen's near post. Moments later, Johnson again got the beating of former Wolves winger Jarvis and rolled the ball into Sterling's path, but the 18 year old's low drive was just off target.
West Ham started to get more into the game, with their equaliser coming nine minutes before the interval. A set-piece was cleared as far as Guy Demel whose shot hit the arm of Allen as he closed him down.
Referee Lee Probert deemed the block to be intentional and pointed to the spot, with Noble stepping up to coolly convert the penalty.
West Ham started to take control and the spell of pressure yielded a second goal for Sam Allardyce's side, albeit it in fortunate circumstances. Jarvis produced a fantastic delivery into the box and the ball was sent flying past Reina off the head of Gerrard.
Former Chelsea playmaker Cole has struggled during his time with Liverpool and had little impact on the game until he struck a venomous equaliser after being played in by Sterling.
The turnaround was completed just 12 minutes from time as Henderson swung in a low cross that Shelvey and Collins competed for with the balling looping up off the boot of the West Ham defender and over a helpless Jaaskelainen.

What it means to be a conservationist
Who is Enric Sala?
Enric Sala is an expert on marine conservation and is currently the National Geographic Society's Explorer-in-Residence. His love of the sea started with his childhood in Spain, inspired by the example of the legendary diver Jacques Cousteau. He has been a university professor of Oceanography in the US, as well as working at the Spanish National Council for Scientific Research and is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Biodiversity and the Bio-Economy. He has dedicated his life to protecting life in the oceans. Enric describes himself as a flexitarian who only eats meat occasionally.
What is biodiversity?
According to the United Nations Environment Programme, all life on earth – including in its forests and oceans – forms a “rich tapestry of interconnecting and interdependent forces”. Biodiversity on earth today is the product of four billion years of evolution and consists of many millions of distinct biological species. The term ‘biodiversity’ is relatively new, popularised since the 1980s and coinciding with an understanding of the growing threats to the natural world including habitat loss, pollution and climate change. The loss of biodiversity itself is dangerous because it contributes to clean, consistent water flows, food security, protection from floods and storms and a stable climate. The natural world can be an ally in combating global climate change but to do so it must be protected. Nations are working to achieve this, including setting targets to be reached by 2020 for the protection of the natural state of 17 per cent of the land and 10 per cent of the oceans. However, these are well short of what is needed, according to experts, with half the land needed to be in a natural state to help avert disaster.
