Jurgen Klopp has hailed Liverpool’s victory over Man City as the Reds’ best defensive performance of the season after Mohamed Salah’s goal earned them a 1-0 win.
With the injured Ibrahima Konate joining Joel Matip on the sidelines, and Trent Alexander-Arnold only fit enough for a place on the bench, the German acknowledged that he was well-aware of the reception his starting line-up would receive after starting James Milner at right-back, with Joe Gomez moving to centre-back.
As a result, he was delighted how the pair stepped up to help Liverpool keep only their third Premier League clean sheet of the season and become only the second side to stop the in-form Erling Haaland from scoring in the English top-flight.
