Diogo Jota continued his winning streak by finishing off a great play by Liverpool. Trent Alexander-Arnold played a quick one-two with Xherdan Shaqiri before passing to Jota.
The Portuguese international easily dispatched the opportunity to score his third goal of the season.
Defender Paulinho tripped Mohamed Salah in the penalty area during injury time. The forward scored the resulting penalty to give Klopp’s men all three points.
Speaking of Fabinho’s injury, Klopp told reporters: “Exactly the last thing we needed. I don’t know, he felt his hamstring, so that’s not good. He said he could have kept playing but not running, so that doesn’t help. We’ll see, we’ll have to scan and see, but it’s clearly not good. “
When asked about the overall performance, he said: “It was a difficult night. It’s a bit like in a marriage, there are good times and bad times. It is not a bad time, but it is a difficult time. We 100% have to stick together and fight harder and that’s what the guys did tonight.
“Losing Fabinho in the first half… is a shock for the team because now we have to fix that injury.
“We had to make the switch at halftime with Jordan Henderson. He said ‘I’m fine’ but right now you have to be responsible and the plan before the game was to give him about 45 minutes to be okay for West Ham.
“It was a difficult game to play. But winning 2-0 is completely fine, so that’s it, let’s move on. “
Their next game is in the Premier League against West Ham this weekend.
