Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish insists defeat to Sunderland could've gone the other way.

Nicklas Bendtner's second-half strike was enough to condemn the Merseysiders to a third successive Barclays Premier League defeat

The Scot said: "I don't think it was much of a game and it was always going to be something, a bit of good fortune - I didn't think anybody was going to produce a bit of brilliance to win the game.

"We matched all the attributes that Sunderland have, and they have been on a great run, and I didn't think there was much in the game other than the bit of luck that decided the game."
