Liverpool boss Klopp: Never a Sheffield Utd penalty; it keeps happening to us! | OneFootball

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists they should never have gone down in their 2-1 win over Sheffield United.

The Reds needed to recover from the early setback of falling behind to a Sander Berge penalty after just 13 minutes of play at Anfield.

They did so first through Roberto Firmino, who tapped in after Sadio Mane had a close-range header parried by visiting goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Mohamed Salah had an effort ruled out by a VAR review after the break, but moments later, Diogo Jota claimed the winner when he glanced in from a pinpoint Mane centre.

Klopp said, "No foul. It's now the sixth [Premier League] game of the season, in three of them we were on the wrong end of these kind of decisions. It's not about we want to have any advantage – we just don't want to have any disadvantage, how you can imagine.

"That's the situation now today. We were really good in the start of the game [and] the penalty we conceded gave Sheffield a proper boost. Until then, they couldn't really get us, to be honest. But with all the quality they have and the problems they caused us, it was good until then. Then we lost a bit of patience, did not exactly what we wanted to do. [We] scored anyway a goal in the best attack actually, when the formation was in the best place and all this stuff.

"Went in at half-time, adjusted a few things, started really well in the second half and scored a second goal; scored another one which was, I don't know anymore offside or not. Mo had this incredible chance, super play of him. We didn't score so the game stayed open and they had their moments, but we defended well with a big heart. And so I liked it."
