After the game, Klopp told BT Sport: ‘Wow! What can you do? In this game, easy, free flowing is not possible. You have to dig in really deep, which we did. 0-0 sounds strange, but that’s it.
‘It’s the derby, super intense, with a lot of really spectacular moments. They scored the goal, I didn’t watch it back. Ally with a sensational save.
‘I didn’t see that back, but I don’t know how that didn’t go in. But I’m not sure how many chances we had.

‘You need leaders on the pitch. You saw the team spirit around us. We didn’t get the three points, but we can keep building now.

‘It’s hard work, it’s commitment, we’ll keep building, we’ll get stronger, we’ll get the wins.’
