Manchester City goalscorer Stephen Ireland admitted his side felt they had been "robbed" after Liverpool snatched a 2-2 draw in their tense Premier League clash at Anfield.
Liverpool took the lead when Martin Skrtel headed home Steven Gerrard's free-kick early in the second-half.
Emmanuel Adebayor's header and Stephen Ireland's clever close-range flick put City ahead before Yossi Benayoun forced home the equaliser.
"Looking back at the end of the season we'll probably see it as a good point but we feel a bit robbed," Ireland told Sky Sports 1.
"We played well, we went ahead but conceded too early. It was very unfortunate but it could have been worse."
As for City's recent habit of drawing too many games, Ireland added: "It's unfortunate we've drawn those games but I think last year we were losing them, so I think it is a positive and it's onwards and upwards or us now."
Fellow goalscorer Adebayor said: "We played quite well and were in a good position but we gave them a chance to come back.
"We deserved to win but that's football, we just have to keep our focus and keep enjoying ourselves on the pitch."
