'We knew in January' - Jurgen Klopp makes title race claim after Liverpool draw at Man City

Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool will need “absolutely insane” perfection if they are to wrench the Premier League title from the grasp of Manchester City.

Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane scored as the Reds came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw at the Etihad in an enthralling clash on Sunday afternoon. The result means Liverpool still stand a point behind leaders City with seven games remaining having extended their unbeaten Premier League run to 12 games.

And having stood a mammoth 14 points adrift of Pep Guardiola's side in mid-January – albeit with two games in hand – Klopp believes his team must take maximum points between now and May 22 if they are to have a chance of overhauling the champions.
