ANGRY Rafael Benitez slammed the “unbelievable” defensive mistakes he believes cost Liverpool victory over Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.

The Anfield side needed an injury-time header from Fernando Torres to maintain their unbeaten league record and gain a point.

Andriy Voronin had given Liverpool the lead in the 12th minute by capitalising on a mistake by keeper Paul Robinson.

But two goals in three minutes either side of half time from Robbie Keane appeared to have earned Spurs only their sixth ever win at Anfield.

Both Keane efforts came after Liverpool had failed to defend a Dimitar Berbatov flick-on from a long punt upfield by Robinson, and Benitez was fuming at his team’s defending.

“I cannot say too much now,” said the Spaniard. “It was so clear. Two mistakes changed the game. It was unbelievable.

“In the first half, we could have scored two or three goals and maybe the game would have been over.

“Now we need to explain why we conceded two goals like that and why we could not score the second or third goal in the first half.

“If you analyse both goals, it is difficult to explain. They were both so easy to defend and we’ll watch the two goals to try and explain why.”
