Benitez: Reina improving every day

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez hailed Jose Reina as “one of the best goalkeepers in the world” after a singular piece of brilliance helped the side to a 2-0 victory in the 212th Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

Leading through Joseph Yobo’s 12th-minute own goal from a deflected Javier Mascherano shot, the Reds were coming under increasing pressure in the second half.
