Klopp happy with Liverpool point: Good, intense game against defensive Chelsea

Published on: 25 November 2017

Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah had his revenge on Chelsea with a goal in their 1-1 draw at Anfield.

Salah returned to haunt former club Chelsea but Liverpool were denied a hugely significant victory as Willian conjured an equaliser out of nothing in the 1-1 draw at Anfield.

Salah tops the Premier League scoring charts with 10 goals in 13 games after turning home from close-range in the 65th minute.

Yet Jurgen Klopp's side were forced to settle for a draw when substitute Willian floated the ball over Simon Mignolet in what could have been either a show of outrageous skill or sensational fortune.

Klopp said afterwards: "Good game. Very intense game, very difficult for us against what everybody knows is a very strong Chelsea team with quite a different approach tonight; deep defending and then giving the ball to Eden Hazard. Wow! Not too bad, to be honest! So it was not the most thankful job I would say, to defend him alone. With the second player, more easy, with the third player you have a good chance.

"Alvaro Morata running around [too], so that's quite difficult. We had to work really hard in these situations and stay cool in our situations of playing football and we did it, so I am happy about big parts of the performance.

"I'm really proud of the attitude but I have to say that both teams were, attitude-wise, really on a high level and I think in weeks like this it could be different, not for us and not for, unfortunately, Chelsea tonight. So both teams had a big, big investment in this game.

"So, everything was good until Willian crossed the ball. Most parts of the game are still good, but it doesn't feel that well, that's how it is. But the world is a strange and crazy place at the moment, there are so many much more important things that happened, crazy things are happening, so I can easily live with a point against Chelsea."
