Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was understandably delighted at his side’s performance.
“It’s always a tough game here. I liked the first half. It was two teams that wanted to play, create, defend and make things happen,” said the German.
“They were the dominant side without goals but then a massive game-changer in the last seconds which was good for us. We had to adapt to that and we did.
“We decided to bring Thiago on early because it was 11 v 10 and a player like him can command the rhythm. It was the perfect start for him and the boys helped him massively.”
