Rafael Benitez believes Barclays Premiership rivals Bolton are taking advantage of lenient English referees.

Liverpool's Spanish manager is in no doubt that Bolton - third and one place above the Reds in the table - would not get away with the same tactics if they were to try them in his native country.

"Bolton could not play this way in Spain," said Benitez. "Every free-kick, every corner, ever throw-in would be a foul. But in England referees allow it."
