Neither Salah's goal nor Alisson's assist, this was Liverpool's best according to Klopp

Few managers have been able to counter and overcome Pep Guardiola's game on more than one occasion, but Jürgen Klopp is practically an expert on the subject and even has the joy of boasting a clear superiority over the Spaniard. With Liverpool's 1-0 win over Manchester City in the eleventh Premier League fixture, the German manager took his tally against the former Barcelona man to eleven wins in a total of 26 games in all competitions.

Over the course of their careers, the two managers have meton several occasions. First in Germany, with Klopp at Borussia Dortmund andGuardiola at Bayern Munich, and then in England, where they most often met andthe record was reversed. On German soil, the Sampedor-born Klopp had four wins,three defeats and just one draw. However, when the two met on English soil, theGerman had eight wins and the Catalan only reached that number in their totalnumber of victories.

There is still a long way to go in the Premier League, but there are always wins that stick more than others. One of the postcards of the great match between Liverpool and Manchester City had Jürgen Klopp in the spotlight. In the final stretch of the match, the German coach was annoyed by a hard foul on Mo Salah and complained furiously. Unfortunately for him, the referee did not tolerate this reaction and decided to send him off.

Klopp praised the performance of his defence

'Three points. We have to get those who played back. Wednesday i West Ham will be coming to Anfield and that's the next difficult one. It (the win) was very good and it was the best thing that could happen here today. We defended at an incredibly high level for almost 99 minutes. They had their moments but especially in the area we were very good. That was great for us obviously and great. We showed up and played well today, that's all we wanted to do'.
