Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told Sky Sports:
“The most important thing in football is the result. I think we deserved the three points; we had the majority of the ball, around 86 per cent in the first half, which was really strange.
“We made things more difficult than they should have been, but we were patient, which we had to be. When you play against such a deep block you have to be patient, it’s obviously not a game to enjoy because it only would have been an up and down game if we lost the ball.
“Their throw-ins were a massive threat, we should have done better in those situations. But having gone 1-0 up and conceding the equaliser, going 2-1 up and conceding the equaliser, and then scoring the third, it was cool, I really liked that a lot. We’ve got three points more than before and everything is good.”
Man of the Match – Diogo Jota
After a run of 20 Premier League games without a goal, Diogo Jota has scored four goals in his last two appearances for Liverpool, and the first Reds player to net at least two goals in successive games in the competition since Mohamed Salah in November 2017.
