Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson admitted mixed emotions after today's 2-2 draw at Manchester City.

The top of the table clash finished 2-2, with City remaining a point ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League leadership battle.

Henderson said, "It was an intense game which we knew it would be. We knew it would be tough but we wanted to give it everything and get the win. We couldn't do that but we didn't lose. It's not the end of the world, we are still in the race, so positives and negatives.

"I think we started OK but we were a little hectic at times. Of course we knew we would come under pressure early on, they are a fantastic team. I felt we settled down a bit and caused them problems. It's pleasing how we twice came from behind. We want to do better of course.

"You have to keep going, you have to be prepared to suffer. You have to stay positive, stay on the front foot and not give them time. It worked at times, at others we can defend better."

On whether Manchester City will be happier with the point, he added: "We'll have to wait and see. They don't drop many points, we know that. We have to concentrate on ourselves and win as many games as possible. If they slip up we have to be there right behind them. We'll keep going until the end."
