Rafa Benitez has made light of speculation that he had a bust-up with Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard during the FA Cup defeat by Reading. Reports have claimed that Benitez and Gerrard rowed at half-time during last week's third-round replay at Anfield, which Liverpool lost 2-1 in extra-time.
But, speaking ahead of Wednesday night's game against Tottenham Hotspur, Benitez brushed off the rumours of a falling-out with the influential midfielder.
"We have been joking about the rumours in the media that there was a fight," said the Liverpool boss.
"There was nothing. We have been laughing about it."
