Rafa Benitez believes Dani Pacheco's Barclays Premier League debut is a 'real positive' for Liverpool.

The 18-year-old Spaniard made his domestic bow for the Reds with a late cameo in the Boxing Day triumph against Wolves, and the boss was encouraged by his display.

"Dani is a player with quality who has played really well for the reserves," said Benitez.

"He was going forward and is not scared to go against the defenders. It was a real positive because he has shown he has quality."

Pacheco made his first-team debut earlier this month as a substitute in the Champions League encounter with Fiorentina at Anfield.
