Benitez team selection

Benitez opted to start instead with Salif Diao, as he had not played mid week, and was the fresher of the two players.

He added: "You can ask questions about the team but in my opinion we controlled the match in the first half. We just needed to score. It's a disappointing end to what had been a good week for us. Now we have to make sure that next week is another good one."
