Fulham boss Roy Hodgson was left devastated after Liverpool's injury-time winner yesterday.
Hodgson said: "It's a bitter blow to lose in injury-time after such a battling performance against an in-form team. That is frustrating and disappointing.
"We had dangerous situations. They had more possession but we dealt with things reasonably well. I cannot fault the players for their commitment.
"But when you can bring on players like (Ryan) Babel and Benayoun it is a great advantage. Benayoun's goal was a bit fortunate but he took it very well."
Asked who he thought would go on to win the league, Hodgson said: "They are two great teams (Liverpool and Manchester United) and I have respect for both clubs and managers."
