"Firmino after the last game had a bit of a groin problem and was a bit tired, maybe he could have started but we had to leave him out of training for three days, so it was his first session today!

The comeback victory means Liverpool remain in third spot in the Premier League with 63 points but fourth-placed Manchester City have a game in hand while Arsenal and Manchester United, both on 54 points, have three games in hand.

"First half wasn't very good, it was very difficult. It wasn't a great football game for both sides," Klopp continued.
"We knew we had problems today, but it's not about moaning about the problems, you have to take the situation as it is. Of course people say why don't we use the two Brazilians from the start, but you can see even last 15 minutes we had low battery.

That's the goalkeeper's job, I'm really happy for him, I have no idea how he saved the second chance, and the first one from Adam was a really good one."Quiz: Put these PFA Players’ Player of the Year winners in order
