Jurgen Klopp admits he was duped “for a second” that Manchester City had conceded a late goal to edge the Premier League title back into Liverpool’s hands on a dramatic final day.
The Reds finished a point behind City in the race for the championship after both teams came from behind to win on Sunday afternoon. Liverpool eventually beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 at Anfield while Pep Guardiola’s side fought back from 2-0 down to dismiss Aston Villa 3-2 at the Etihad.
Shortly after substitute Mohamed Salah’s 31st goal of the season put the Reds 2-1 ahead, rumour swept among the Anfield crowd that City had been pegged back to 3-3 only for such hope to swiftly be dashed.
