Liverpool reached the fourth round of the Carling Cup last night with a 1-0 win over Leeds United at Elland Road. Rafa Benitez was pleased with the result as he believes it shows the strength in depth in his squad.

"It was a good game. They had some chances, we had some chances. At the end we won with a lot of players who haven't been playing," said the boss.

"It is a difficult stadium to come to. They've won many games in a row. In these types of games it is very important to keep the mentality and character.

"I am really pleased with my team, with my squad. We showed we can manage with different players. For the rest of the season it is important to know you have players who can come in and perform."
