Jurgen Klopp admitted his Liverpool team "should have controlled the game better" as they came through a nervy match to beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 at Anfield.
The Reds were pegged back twice by the visitors as Neco Williams and Morgan Gibbs-White cancelled out a second-half brace from Diogo Jota before Mohamed Salah's 27th goal of the campaign won it for the hosts.
A tense second period saw Liverpool struggle to deal with the long throws of Forest, who also hit the bar through substitute Brennan Johnson - and while Klopp was pleased with the intelligent way his team crafted their goals via set-pieces, he admitted Liverpool could have made the result secure in a more calm manner.
