Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted Crysencio Summerville's winning goal at Anfield has kept him up in recent nights. Summerville netted a dramatic late goal to hand Leeds United a 2-1 victory at the home of the Reds, ending Virgil van Dijk's four-and-a-half-year run without a defeat in a home Premier League match.
Leeds had been on a winless run of eight matches prior to their win over Liverpool, but the result was more indicative of the poor season Klopp's side have endured so far. Klopp was particularly critical of Liverpool's defending for Summerville's goal, with Wilfried Gnonto initially allowed to get a cross into the box despite the presence of three opposition players around him.
Summerville was then quickest to react to Patrick Bamford's touch inside the area, before getting a shot away that van Dijk opted against closing down. Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Tuesday's Champions League game with Napoli, Klopp revealed that the goal has led him to waking up during the night.

Via Liverpool Echo, he said: "You can judge single moments and say, 'oh my God'. The second [Leeds] goal, I still wake up at night. But there's a reason why it happened. You can see that the boys wanted to win the game. That's actually the message from that situation, instead of defending the draw.
"We didn't want to have a throw-in for Leeds so they could play the time down. We don't close the centre because we expect to win the ball, and in the end from outnumbering Leeds in three different situations, we end up with a one-versus-two in the box.
"We expect more from ourselves, the boys expect more, I expect more from them. But we have to make sure that we get there with steps. We had them, the [Leeds] goalie had an exceptional game. You have to work on that and use that as well. That's the challenge at the moment. Avoiding the mistakes and keeping the good stuff."
