'Saved our a**' - Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp makes Alisson admission after Man City draw

Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool had to rely on Alisson 'saving their a**' during a pulsating 2-2 draw with Manchester City on Sunday afternoon. The points were shared at the Etihad Stadium and the two title rivals are set to continue trading blows during an eagerly-anticipated run-in.

Goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus twice put City in front - only for Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane to earn the Reds a share of the spoils. Each team has seven matches still to play with a point between them.

According to Klopp, his men did enough to earn a draw. However, the charismatic German also gave huge credit to goalkeeper Alisson after he produced a stunning save to deny England international Raheem Sterling in the opening minute of a hugely-entertaining Premier League showdown.
