Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez showed his disappointment after the 1-1 draw with Everton, admitting his side dropped the points that were on offer prior to Tim Cahill's late equaliser.

"When you are at the top of the table and with three minutes left you are winning - then we have lost two points," Benitez said.

"We were winning and had control of the second half and all of the possession. We had more control so I was confident we would score a second goal.

"But then we concede with three minutes to go.

"It is disappointing for today, but we are in a good position," he added.

"You have to manage the press, but we are in a good position. We have qualified in the Champions League, we have a cup game next week (against Everton) and are top of the table. We must think only of the future.

"We are in a good situation so we have to be positive."
