Lovren believes Liverpool gained “a good point” against City

Dejan Lovren believes the point Liverpool gained against Manchester City yesterday is a good one.

The Reds played out a goalless draw at Anfield against the Champions, with neither side really getting into their stride. Liverpool were fortunate that Riyad Mahrez ballooned his late penalty into the stands after being fouled in the box by Virgil van Dijk.

And Lovren, who put in a largely solid performance at centre-back in his first league appearance of the season, thinks the point wasn’t the worst result in the world, given City’s late opportunity to win the game.

“Man City knew they would have a tough game,” Lovren told Liverpoolfc.com.

“They knew we had won the last three games against them. What we were missing was a goal but there weren’t many chances. They had a penalty at the end, so when you look back it’s a good point.

“Usually it’s a game with many goals. Previously, it was always an interesting game. From both sides, it was good defensively – we were really compact from the beginning – but what we were missing was the goal, of course.

“In the last four games we have been struggling a little bit in front of goal. But nothing will change; we will work hard and I’m really confident in our team. The most important thing is not to concede.

“Maybe it’s a good time now to go to the internationals and to come back with fresher movements and fresher minds

“We need to keep this race up until the end. It will be a tough season, for sure. Hopefully everyone will come back from the internationals without any injuries.”
