Liverpool captain Henderson remains upbeat after Chelsea draw

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson thinks his team can take positives away from Sunday's draw with Chelsea.

The Reds blew a 2-0 goal lead to share the spoils at Stamford Bridge.

"We'll be disappointed with the goals we conceded," Henderson told the club's website.

"Of course the first one is an outstanding finish but the lead-up to it we were disappointed with and then conceding so quickly on the second one, we'll be disappointed with that also.

"But then we get in at half-time and I thought the lads came out and gave it everything. Chelsea are always going to create chances here, but I thought we defended and showed great spirit to keep going and keep digging in when the crowd was up.

"On another day we could have scored another one on the counter-attack, we had a couple of good chances, the 'keeper made some brilliant saves for them. So, in the end I think we've got to take the point and move on because it is a tough place to come.

"Of course, if you look at the league we would have liked to have taken the three points to try to get closer to [Manchester] City but, unfortunately, under the circumstances we couldn't do that today."
