Rafa pleased with comeback

The Reds again rescued a win from a game they were losing, coming from 2-1 down at half time to beat Wigan 3-2. Rafa Benitez was pleased with his side's character as they kept pace with Chelsea at the top of the table.

"I told the players at the end of the game that they had to make things easier for themselves," said the boss.

"We started the game really badly. They were winning a lot of second balls and controlling the game. We started to get better but then they got the second goal.

"We needed to change a lot of things and the team showed a lot of character. We were pushing and pressing and passing the ball. In the end, thanks to this belief, we won the game."
