After the game, Jürgen Klopp said of his team's performance: "It was a good start to the game, I liked it, we played the way we should have played, with a lot of energy, and then we conceded an early and strange goal, almost an own goal. It didn't help, for sure it didn't, but we were able to equalise from set pieces and then a normal first half, I would say, with moments, good moments, where we were a bit unlucky, we put them under pressure, we had a lot of play".

On the engagement, he said that "we had two great chances that we didn't take, which means the game is still open and then we conceded a second goal in a situation where you obviously can't defend it like that."

"That's clear. We have a two-on-one situation in the box, but no challenge, I think for a second it's even a three-on-one, but nobody has a challenge, they pass the ball and they outnumber us, but in the end everybody all of a sudden it's two-on-one in the box and then the ball is in the goal and Leeds win the game," he asserted.

On the concern about not being among the title favourites, he said: "Yes, actually that's not my main concern at the moment because there are a lot of other concerns, but yes, of course. At least I'm not so stupid that I don't know distances and I know who is up there, but you can't qualify for the Champions League if you play as bad as we are playing at the moment.
