EPL: Why we failed to beat Man Utd – Klopp speaks on 2-2 draw

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has hailed Manchester United for putting in “an extra shift” in their 2-2 draw on Sunday.

Luis Diaz gave the Reds the lead at Old Trafford, but the hosts fought back to go 2-1 up in the second half, thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo.

Mohamed Salah converted a late penalty as Klopp’s men dropped crucial points in the title race.

Klopp, speaking to Sky Sports, said: “We should have won the game, that is clear. We should have had other goals in the first half already. No shots in the first half and 1-0 is the lowest we could expect.

“Really well done from Bruno. Then the stadium is coming and we needed a few minutes to settle again and they scored another screamer.

“We had big chances before and after they scored. As far as I’m concerned, we have a point more than we did before.

“They put an extra shift in, that’s how it is. We will face that again against Everton. Fully deserved equalizer.”
