Jurgen Klopp aim dig at Antonio Conte and Chelsea

The big English Premier League match of the weekend between Chelsea and Liverpool at Anfield ended in a 1-1 draw.

It was a pulsating match between two very strong sides with little quarter given after both sides had been involved in tough UEFA Champions League away trips.

Egyptian Mohamed Salah scored the opener from a defensive error by France international midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko on 65th moment played.

Chelsea’s equalizing goal came via what looked like a cross from Brazilian winger Willian, with five minutes left in the match.

After the draw, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was interviewed on Premier League broadcast partner channel BT Sport and also said his view of the match in a post-game press conference.

The dig aimed at Chelsea that was not been noticed by reporters was Jurgen Klopp saying: “I [Klopp] am delighted about the performance [of my team], how we [Liverpool] took the game. It’s a bit more hard when Chelsea played with [more or less] eight defenders.”

The former Borussia Dortmund head coach could even have said nine defenders, perhaps he was not including Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois?

The Blues did play 3 defensive midfielders in Frenchman Tiemoue Bakayoko, midfield maestro N’Golo Kante and England international Danny Drinkwater.

With effectively just Belgium playmaker Eden Hazard and Spaniard Alvaro Morata in attack, it was a defensive Blues team at Anfield Stadium.
