Benitez feels Reds deserved more
Benitez felt Liverpool were in control against Man Utd
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez feels his side deserved better than their last-gasp defeat by Manchester United.
"It is always bad to lose a game - you must be disappointed," Benitez said. "But when it is in the last minute you are more disappointed.
"We defended that free-kick badly but we had a good game in terms of controlling the game - we created some clear chances and counter-attacks.
"They are a good team and it was difficult but we were trying to win."
The result leaves Liverpool four points behind second-placed United - but the Merseysiders have played two games less.
And Benitez added: "We know we have those games in hand - and we have to keep going."
United's assistant coach Carlos Queiroz said: "The game was tight and difficult for both sides - but today was Manchester United's.
"We worked hard as a team and played 90 minutes with one thing in our mind, which was to score one goal and not to allow Liverpool to score.
"Both teams were very rigid with their systems and their movement in the first half but in the second half we opened up the game because we knew if we didn't take risks it would be impossible to score.
"That is exactly what we did. The players knew we had to go forward and create space and put the ball behind the Liverpool defence.
"We knew that by giving them the apparent control of the game we were able to create more space and counter attack and find the right moments and the right places to damage Liverpool.
"And I think it worked. It was something that fits the profile of our players. We started to create opportunities.
"Our goal came in the last minute but we had another opportunity before then too. The plan worked, we did well and we deserved to win." |
