Jurgen Klopp has explained why one of his players wasn’t too pleased despite Liverpool’s 4-2 defeat of Newcastle last night.
A brace from Mo Salah as well as strikes from Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo earned the Reds victory at Anfield to send them three points clear at the top of the Premier League.
The scoreline should’ve been a lot more comfortable for Klopp’s side and allowing the visitors to find the back of the net twice is something which left Alisson Becker frustrated, admitted our German tactician after the game.
“Obviously again a really good game from start to finish and again if you have these options to bring on, that’s obviously pretty helpful,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com (via The Boot Room).
“I loved the game, I loved the atmosphere, everything was perfect besides the goals obviously conceded; we could see that on Ali [Alisson Becker]’s face especially, he didn’t like that fact. But we take that for tonight and keep going.”
