| Benitez unfazed by United defeat | |
| (about 2 hours later) | |
| Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez refused to dwell on his side's sorry defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. | |
| The Reds have scored just one away goal - a penalty - in the Premiership this season and they rarely looked like scoring in the 2-0 defeat to United. | |
| "Away from home, we have had a lot of attempts but we are not creating clear chances. That's the key," said Benitez. | |
| "It's hard when you lose, especially against United, but we can't change it. All we can do is look ahead." | |
| United, now 11 points ahead pf Liverpool, went ahead towards the end of the first half through Paul Scholes, who scored on his 500th appearance for the club. | |
| "I think we played really well, although we have played better this season," said the 31-year-old midfielder. | |
| "The most important thing was to beat Liverpool and go a good few points clear of them, as well as staying up there with Chelsea." | |
| On his landmark appearance, Scholes added: "It didn't feel any different. It was just a game - and one we had to win." |
