Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has explained why his team lost 4-1 against Manchester City in today’s Premier League tie.

Klopp watched as goals from Julian Alvarez, Kevin de Bruyne, IIkay Gundongan and Jack Grealish gave Man City all three points against Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah’s goal was not enough as Pep Guardiola’s side defeated the visitors at Etihad Stadium.

Speaking after the game, Klopp said Liverpool lost against Man City because his team conceded two quick-fire goals in the second half, adding that the Reds did not put in a challenge against the host.

Klopp told BBC Sport: “It was unlucky how the ball went through Robertson’s legs and they finished it off but coming out after half time and conceding two quick goals broke everything down.

“The goals, how we conceded is difficult to accept – we did not put in a challenge for either.”

He added, “That is absolutely not acceptable to be honest. City completely in control after that and we were open and they could do whatever they wanted, we were lucky they were not in a greedy mood.”
