Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez believes his side’s confidence disappeared after Arsenal’s second goal – but he pledged to keep going.

He said: “The own goal changed everything, the confidence changed and we started to make mistakes.

“The first half was really good and we were very pleased.

“The second changed and they were playing with more confidence and we played with less.

“We conceded too early and the second goal came too soon after.

“We will keep going. We have another important game on Wednesday, we have some players coming back.

“Top four is the same target, it’s a long way but we need to keep going.”
