The Reds drew 0-0 at home to Fulham yesterday and that was a missed opportunity to go top of the Premiership as Chelsea were held 0-0 at home by Newcastle on the same day.

"It was a bad day. We weren't playing well, we didn't have enough energy and we did not pass well," admitted Rafael Benitez.

"But we had three good opportunities even though we played badly.

"We started the second half really well. We had more intensity and more determination.

"There is a bit of frustration. We are disappointed because when we got to the dressing room we were told that Chelsea drew and Arsenal lost.

"Clearly it is an opportunity lost - but it's also an opportunity lost for Chelsea."
