RAFA BENITEZ admitted Liverpool only deserved a point from last night's stalemate at Wolves.[LNB]The draw moved the Reds up to fifth in the Premier League but they are now three points adrift of Tottenham, who beat Fulham 2-0.[LNB]'You always have to be disappointed when you don't win, but maybe if you analyse the game a draw was fair enough,' Benitez said.[LNB]'In the first half we didn't create clear chances but we were in control. They had one chance on the counter attack, while we had two or three good situations. The final pass let us down.[LNB]'Credit to them because in the second half they were pushing hard and we had to defend well.[LNB]'But we still had some good counter-attacks. It was a tough game for us but another clean sheet is really positive.'[LNB]Benitez defended the decision to leave out Alberto Aquilani who was an unused substitute.[LNB]The Reds manager insisted the return of skipper Steven Gerrard, after a fortnight out with a hamstring injury, meant there was no room for the Italian.
