Liverpool suffered their first Premier League defeat since December, with goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford putting Manchester United 2-0 up. Mohamed Salah headed in to give the visitors hope but they were unable to equalise down the stretch.

After the defeat, German manager Jurgen Klopp spoke about his emotions from the game: "Emotions? We lost. I think that says it all about the emotions I was expecting. That's about it. Very disappointed with the result," he commented.

Asked by reporters if he was concerned about Liverpool's "attitude", the Reds boss said it's not a question that should be asked because both games, against Fulham and ManU, the difference couldn't have been bigger. Perhaps the surprise was in Erik Ten Hag's changes, which were more attacking and purposeful.

Klopp's words

"It was exactly the game United wanted to play, and you can say that's our fault if you like. At the start, the game was wild, up and down and that sort of thing, and they had their chance when they hit the post. Then they scored the goal and then we took over, more or less."

"Until the last pass or the last decision, we played the way we should have. Against so many legs in defence, it's not easy to create now every 20 seconds a new chance, but we had many moments in the box," Klopp commented.
