"We had clear chances, three or four, and sometimes in football there is no justice, but it is ok there is a long way to go in the season," said the Liverpool boss after the match.
"I think we have been unlucky their goalkeeper played very well and they played with a good offensive mentality and the only thing that didn't happen was we didn't score."
Benitez refused to accept suggestions that the absence of the injured Djibril Cisse and Milan Baros cost Liverpool the three points.
"We have a good squad and we need to use all the players," he added.
"They have fought today and you cannot say anything to the players as they ran a lot and had many clear chances."
