Houllier happy with draw

Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier admitted he was happy with his side’s 1-1 draw at Steaua Bucharest in the UEFA Cup second round, first leg.

The Reds appeared to be in control after defender Djimi Traore put them ahead with a superb 25-yard effort midway through the first half but Claudiu Raducanu levelled for the hosts after 68 minutes.
