Lennon happy to take Liverpool back to Bolton

Bolton Wanderers boss Neil Lennon was pleased with their 0-0 draw at FA Cup opponents Liverpool.

Lennon was delighted with the chance to take Liverpool back to the Macron Stadium.

"On the outside people would say Liverpool didn't play well but they played very well," he said.

"We were resolute, disciplined and we created a couple of our own chances as well.

"To come away from here with a draw having watched Liverpool on Tuesday night playing exceptional football is more than I could have asked for.

"You want to be part of it, you want to be in the headlines as Bolton, for the last couple of years, has not been great and you could see what it meant to the supporters today.

"I've experienced myself at Celtic playing Barcelona and you need your defence and goalkeeper to play well.

"It was a privilege to be here; you don't know whether you will manage here (Anfield) again or be here in another capacity but it was a great occasion."
