Liverpool's Benitez disappointed by more late goals

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez admitted his disappointment as his team conceded two late goals to go down to Fiorentina in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

After Fernando Torres put the Reds in front just before half-time, the home side again capitulated in the final half-hour to allow the Italians to equalise and then take the lead in the dying stages.

Benitez said the performance basically summed up their Champions League campaign this season but was keen to move forward and look to their next match.

"The result and the way it happened just about sums up our Champions League campaign. Another last minute goal, and we are disappointed with that for the third time in this group," the Spaniard said.

"Now we must be ready for the next game at home to Arsenal on Sunday. We worked so hard, we had chances, so they are the only positive that we can take from the game."
