Klopp admits Liverpool performance not ideal but commends fighting spirit in title tussle IOLSport
SOUTHAMPTON – Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admitted his side cannot meet the heights of Manchester City's football, but they may still deny Pep Guardiola's men the title after moving top of the Premier League by beating Southampton 3-1 on Friday.
"The performance was not top level but it is about fighting. People want us to play like Manchester City, we are unable to do that, we play our own football," said Klopp. Liverpool had to come from behind at St. Mary's after Shane Long's ninth-minute opener, but they levelled before half-time thanks to Naby Keita's first goal for the club.
Henderson started on the bench, but the Liverpool captain made a big impact with his first goal of the season to seal a vital three points.
