Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night!

Jurgen Klopp’s turn to chat with Sky Sports. “A massive result … a clean sheet … two wonderful goals … space for improvement as well, obviously … the red card would have been a wonderful goal as well … against ten men we didn’t react particularly well, we lost our momentum and it was difficult to get back … Newcastle had nothing to lose any more, a top team with top character … they threw everything on the pitch … and we gave them too many set pieces and with set pieces it’s not important how many men you have on the pitch … if we had scored the third, it would have been it, but we didn’t, and so it was exciting to the end … the most negative thing is that Darwin has to go off, he has something with his shoulder … it’s the first clean sheet away from home since April [splutters a laugh] and I can’t believe that … you need results … in the end I am really happy we got it over the line, because so many things have happened to us this season … this time nothing happened, we were not perfect but we were good to win … we take the result and go from here … Real Madrid on Tuesday is a tough test but it’s Anfield and I can’t wait!”
