Jurgen Klopp: Everton played "wild football"

Klopp: Everton played "wild football"

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has described Everton's style of football during Monday night's Merseyside derby as "wild" and difficult to play against.

The Reds claimed a 1-0 win against their city rivals in the Premier League clash at Goodison Park, Sadio Mane scoring the winner deep into injury time.

Klopp told Sky Sports News after the match: "Enjoy isn't the right word - it was very intense and a deserved win in a difficult game.

"The best thing you can do on a night like this is win and you saw how happy our fans were. I can't remember one chance for Everton.

"The plan of Everton was wild football. They were chasing us everywhere, it is really difficult to play against this. We couldn't handle it at first. We will be better at reacting against this in a few months."

The result sees Liverpool climb to second in the Premier League table, six points behind leaders Chelsea.
