Fantastic fans the driving force, says Benitez

LIVERPOOL boss Rafael Benitez believes the crowd at Anfield inspired his players to their fantastic Champions League victory over Chelsea.

Benitez said the key to the 1-0 win was "to work hard and have our supporters behind us and believe until the end. When you have your supporters behind you, you run a little bit more."

The former Valencia boss, who won the UEFA Cup last season, believes his side could have been awarded a penalty if Luis Garcia had not scored after Petr Cech had brought down Milan Baros.
