And Benitez conceded that it wasn't the first time this season when the Reds failed to capitalise on good opportunities.

"We have seen this many times this season when we have created a lot of clear chances, but haven't scored.Their goalkeeper was fantastic, but I have to be disappointed that we have got nothing from a game where we created so many clear chances," Benitez said.

He added, "Crouch had three clear chances in the first half, but maybe it was down to bad luck and good goalkeeping that we didn't score. We made a mistake for the goal Blackburn scored and we now must look to the next game against Tottenham and take our chances there."
