Jurgen Klopp believes a point was merited against Chelsea

Jurgen Klopp believes his side warranted a draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge yesterday.

Daniel Sturridge’s stunning late equaliser ensured the Reds got something from the game, as the match finished 1-1. Despite the fact Klopp’s side trailed for the majority of the match, the German believes even a win would have been warranted.

“I cannot understand how somebody can ask me that question!” said Klopp when asked if the point was deserved, as quoted by Goal. “We deserved to win!

“It’s all good with the result. Both teams deserve a point, we only had more chances, like we did on Wednesday. But Chelsea is a super team and it is quite difficult to play them, but I thought we did it in a really impressive way, to be honest.

“It’s how football is, how life is. A good football team, which we are, creates chances. Sometimes you use them and sometimes you miss, that’s how it is.

“I spoke a lot about Chelsea and how good they are, but we defended it brilliantly. And we played good football as well. Coming in these situations in the box is really not simple against a quality side like Chelsea, and we still did it like six or seven times.

“I’m completely fine, really. I want us to respond, react, perform. But I saw a really good performance from my side in a difficult game after we’d lost on Wednesday against them. We gave them one proper chance, they used it and we didn’t use ours. That’s how life is.

“I really liked the game today. Come on, that’s how football should be, not 1-0 and one team controls the game and the other doesn’t want to attack. That was really a big race for both. I loved that.”
