Rare loss has Liverpool hungry again as Gomez turns attention back to title bid

A rare defeat for Liverpool has given the Premier League leaders “hunger again”, says Joe Gomez, with Jurgen Klopp’s side looking to offer a positive response to their setback against Atletico Madrid.

The first leg of a Champions League last-16 encounter with La Liga heavyweights did not play out as planned for the Reds.

An uncharacteristic lack of cutting edge saw Liverpool suffer a 1-0 loss at Wanda Metropolitano and they now have work to do in the defence of their European crown, but attention is about to shift back to domestic matters.
