After the dramatic ending vs. Arsenal, Klopp: “The tie point for Arsenal is better”!
German Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp felt that Arsenal bagged a better result than his side, despite the fact that the Reds fought back to salvage a point in a dramatic 2-2 draw at Anfield at the top of the 30th round of the English Premier League. Klopp admitted that Liverpool's chaotic 2-2 draw with Arsenal summed up their topsy-turvy season in the aftermath of an enthralling clash at Anfield. Klopp admitted that he had mixed emotions after a frenetic second half - but was adamant that the point was a better result for Arsenal rather than his own side, who are still eighth in the Premier League and 12 points off the top four. He told Sky Sports: “I’m caught in between [being happy and not]. I have no problem withdrawing. Arsenal was good but they could and should have lost this game. The point for them is better. "A bit typical for us this season. In an open game, completely open, they score with the first situation and the second one. Our reaction was good. It was a spectacular game in the end. How we didn’t win it with those late chances I don’t know. “We had moments and chances where we didn’t finish the situations off. Slightly typical. They’re flying so they score with their first chance. The goal we scored helped massively. At half-time, it wasn’t over. It was a sensational atmosphere. A good moment to get the equalizer. “All of a sudden we were in charge of a wild game. We deserved at least a point. If [Konate] uses his head [for a late chance] it’s a goal. Maybe he slipped. He had a chance, it was just there.” Klopp was also asked for his thoughts on an incident involving defender Andy Robertson and assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis, with the Scotland international claiming that the official had elbowed him in the throat as the players headed back in at half-time. But the German was reluctant to be drawn on the incident, insisting that he hasn't watched it back. He added: “Nothing. I know it happened but I didn’t watch it. If it happened the pictures will speak for themselves.”
