Rafa Rues Missed Chances


Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez was 'disappointed' not to claim victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The encounter ended in a 0-0 stalemate, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances throughout the 90 minutes.

The Reds just edged the game in terms of opportunities, and Benitez feels his side were unfortunate not to come away with three points.

"Yes [we could have won this game]. We controlled the first half and had chances. We are disappointed, but it is not easy to get a point here," he told Sky Sports 1.

"They didn't have too many chances. I think we defended really well."

Benitez's side currently sit fifth in the Premier League table, but have a game in hand over the sides vying for fourth place.

And the Spaniard insists his men are taking things one game at a time, rather than focusing on claiming fourth spot.

"We have one game in hand so we need to get three points in the next game and try to be in the fourth position. Then we will try to progress," Benitez added.
