"Ideally we wanted three points tonight, so we see it as two points dropped but this point could be important," he said.
"I still feel that there's going to be a few twists and turns but we're relying on other people to do us favours.
"Tremendous game for the neutral, not for myself, but I wanted three points tonight.
"It would have been very, very difficult if we'd have lost the game but I think that point could be big.
"Performance wise at times we were very good tonight. We pressed well, Torres and Benayoun were frightening going forward.
"I know Arshavin will get man of the match but Yossi Benayoun was my man of the match - he's as brave as a lion."
