Jürgen Klopp's reaction to shootout defeat in Community Shield

Jürgen Klopp felt Liverpool can take lessons from the way in which they lost the Community Shield to Arsenal after a penalty shootout defeat at Wembley on Saturday.

The Reds recovered from the early setback of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s opener for the Gunners by levelling through Takumi Minamino following a sustained period of second-half pressure.

With the scoreline tied at 1-1, the contest went to penalties, during which Rhian Brewster cracked an effort against the bar.

Aubameyang converted Arsenal’s fifth spot-kick to seal the silverware for the Londoners; however, Klopp observed positive aspects of his team’s performance, though admitted there was a need for improvement heading into the new Premier League season.
