The Jurgen Klopp fist pump towards the travelling Liverpool fans at the final whistle was delivered with extra gusto.
This was a huge moment in the title race, a game where Klopp played a high risk strategy but still ended up with a victory which puts the pressure back on Manchester City. Sadio Mane’s wonderful piece of skill, a sensational improvised header to seal victory midway through the second half, means Liverpool are back level on points with City.
City boss Pep Guardiola has a game in hand, superior goal difference but they must go to Wolves on Wednesday night and win. But whatever happens now, this brilliant, thrilling and unmissable title race will go into the final week of the season. Klopp rested and rotated, Liverpool have Saturday’s FA Cup final in their sights as they still chase down the second trophy of the season in their unlikely push for quadruple.
