RAFA REFUSING TO BLAME DUDEK
By Paul Eaton

Rafael Benitez has refused to blame goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek for Portsmouth's
late equaliser at Anfield.
Liverpool appeared to be heading towards three points thanks to Steven
Gerrard's second half free kick, but as the game entered stoppage time
Dudek palmed away a left wing cross and Pompey striker Lomana Lua Lua was
on hand to save a point for the visitors.

The Reds' boss was understandably disappointed with the manner of the late
goal, but he was equally frustrated with the amount of chances his side
missed over the 90 minutes.

Benitez said: "I think their player tried to cross the ball but in the end
it was a shot. The goalkeeper did his best to get it away and was unlucky.
I haven't seen it on the video but I want to watch it again.

"The important thing tonight was that we didn't take the chances. We had
enough to win the game convincingly but we only scored one. In football you
can never feel safe when you have only scored one.

"Of course it is a disappointing result and people will say we have lost
two points. But the table will say we have gained one, so it could have
been worse."
