Jurgen Klopp: 'Liverpool bossed Swansea City in second half'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that he is "really happy" with his side's 2-1 victory over Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon.

The Reds needed to come from behind following a lacklustre first-half display, but goals from Roberto Firmino and James Milner were enough to cancel out Leroy Fer's early opener.

Klopp admitted that the first 45 minutes was not good enough from his side, but is pleased with how they turned things around to move up to second in the Premier League table.

"We are really happy in this moment. The second half is how the whole game should have been. Our body language wasn't good in the first half. I thought the Swansea goal was offside, but it's not important anymore," he told reporters.

"In the second half we bossed them - it's how we should have been. We asked more difficult questions in the second half. Swansea are a good side. In the first half they played football. Our build-up was static in the first half. we weren't awake so it was easy to defend.

"You need to show every week that you ready to fight for the result. We did it in this game. We have 16 points and an international break. All the players are all over the world and we don't like it."

The first half was also marred by Adam Lallana limping off injured, and Klopp revealed that the England international and Dejan Lovren had both picked up groin injuries.

"Lallana has a groin problem and Dejan Lovren too. We will see what they have exactly. Hopefully they'll use the break to recover," he added.

Liverpool have now won four Premier League games in a row for the first time under Klopp.
