Rafa revels in Reds reception

The former Valencia coach opened his Liverpool account with a victory as Anthony Le Tallec inspired the Reds to a 2-1 win at the Racecourse ground, but it will be the support of his new fans that will live long in the memory for the 44-year-old Spaniard.


Benitez said: "I was trying to talk to the players and they were shouting my name. I say thank-you. It's good for the team that the supporters stay with them."
