The Reds deserved to take more than a point from yesterday's away game at Manchester City according to Rafa Benitez.

"I thought we deserved to win and it was a little bit frustrating. You cannot say anything about the players, they worked really hard, had plenty of possession and were controlling everything," said the Liverpool boss.

"We created 17 chances away from home against a City team that has a fantastic record at home, so we are a little disappointed because we did everything to win the game.

"I don't look at the table too much, but we knew today was an opportunity. We have one more point. Our idea is to try and play as well as we did today and keep creating the same amount of chances.

"Three games before we were talking about it being impossible. Two games later we were close. Now we are 10 points behind with one game in hand.

"Playing like today we will win a lot of games and we just have to keep doing the right things and see what happens in the next few months."
