United in the title driving seat: Benitez

LIVERPOOL, England: Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez admitted Manchester United were in the driving seat for the title after watching his side drop two crucial points at Anfield on Tuesday.

The Spaniard blamed "massive mistakes" after his side were held to a 4-4 draw by Arsenal, for whom Andriy Arshavin scored all four of his side's goals - the first player to achieve such a feat at Anfield in a league match since Denis Westcott for Wolves in 1946 - in an astonishing match.

Ironically the point was enough to take Liverpool back to the top of the table, level on points with United but with a better goal difference.
