Liverpool veteran Jamie Carragher admits his side was very lucky to leave Bolton with a win on Sunday.

The Reds managed to take all three points from Reebok Stadium thanks to an 86th minute strike from Maxi Rodriguez but Carragher feels that neither side really deserved victory.

"I don't think anyone deserved to win to be honest," Carragher told Sky Sports 1. "I don't think there was too many chances. It's always a difficult game here at Bolton.

"Kevin Davies had a header late on, and that could have been it for them, and our chance has gone in.

"It was a really tight game but that's the Premiership for you."

But the 32-year old was delighted that Liverpool managed to get themselves out of the drop zone and feels it is a step in the right direction to climbing up the table.

"It's just nice to be out of the bottom three," he added.

"We've been in there a while so it's been difficult to look at the table. In the weeks to come we have to get further up the table.

"We know we haven't had a great start, but there's still a long way to go and with the league so tight, with a few wins we can certainly climb to the top half of the table."
