Jurgen Klopp hailed a massive win, as Darwin Nunez gave Liverpool their second 1-0 win at Anfield in three days.
The £85m striker scored his first ever Anfield goal, to sink West Ham give Klopp’s side an important victory on the back of their magnificent weekend display against Manchester City, and take them to within four points of the top four.
And the Anfield boss insisted that grinding out three points once more in another intense, tight game is huge in the context of their stuttering season: “Absolutely, it was really important we brought it over the line in a tight game, that it didn’t happen too often this season,” he said.
