Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has urged his players not to view the defeat to Manchester City as a “catastrophe” as he believes some of the football they played would have served them well in this inconsistent season.

The lopsided look of a 4-1 scoreline was due to two uncharacteristic errors by goalkeeper Alisson Becker but Klopp was keen to take the positives from a performance which left them 10 points behind the leaders with their Premier League title defence seemingly in tatters.
