Georginio Wijnaldum says his Liverpool team-mates were always confident the goals would start flowing again after a frustrating recent run for the Reds.
Liverpool scored 14 goals in their first five matches of the season but had found the back of the net just twice in their last three games before Tuesday night's 7-0 hammering of Maribor in the Champions League.
Asked whether it was a relief for Liverpool to be among the goals again, Wijnaldum said: "Not with me. We were a little bit sad that we didn't score a lot of goals (in recent matches) as we created a lot of chances.
"The manager told us if we play like that, creating a lot of chances and (are) maybe more ruthless in the chances we get, then we would score goals.
"We just kept the belief and played how we always believed - just being more ruthless."
The result in midweek is a huge confidence boost for Jurgen Klopp's men heading into the Super Sunday visit to London to take on Tottenham, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
But Wijnaldum accepts it is naive to think they can repeat anything approaching a similar feat at Wembley.
"I am not the person to say 'Today we scored seven and the next one we will do the same again'. Every game is different," he added.
"Every game you have to work hard and show your best to score goals and win the games.
"Against Tottenham it will be a good game but we have to wait for that."
