Klopp takes the positives as wasteful Liverpool salvage a point at Old Trafford

Manchester United 2 Liverpool 2 

Jurgen Klopp was left to regret Liverpool's wastefulness again as they suffered a blow to their Premier League title hopes in another Old Trafford thriller.

The Merseyside club should have been home and hosed by half-time but ended up needing a late Mo Salah penalty to salvage a draw against bitter rivals Manchester United.

It was a familiar story for Klopp after their FA Cup defeat to United last month when they failed to turn supremacy into victory.

Klopp said: "We should have won the game - that is clear. But we caused problems ourselves. They had no shot at all in the first half so 1-0 is the lowest of all the results.

"Before they scored we had big chances and after they scored we had big chances but we only took two of them. I know how people see it as two points lost, but the way I see it is a point more than we had before. It’s a point away to Manchester United.

"These are the games we have to be ready for. We found a way back into the game and we fully deserved the equaliser, that’s it."

The draw cost Liverpool the chance to go back to the top of the table - and the title is now no longer in their hands. They are level on points with Arsenal who have a far superior goal difference.

He admitted he will be supporting United when they play the Gunners on the penultimate weekend of the season but didn't hold much hope for Erik ten Hag's team to do them a favour, saying: "If they [United] play like that then Arsenal will win."

Luis Diaz gave Liverpool a deserved lead after 23 minutes and they should have been out of sight by half-time but a combination of fine saves by United keeper Andre Onana, some great defensive blocks plus poor finishing ensured United were still in the
