Klopp on West Ham win, Nunez and Reds' resilience

Jürgen Klopp believes Liverpool merited their 1-0 win over West Ham United at Anfield on Wednesday night.

Darwin Nunez’s superb header in the 22nd minute, plus an Alisson Becker penalty save to deny Jarrod Bowen in first-half stoppage-time, secured a second home victory by a single goal in the space of three days for the Reds.

Klopp’s side dominated the opening 45 minutes and Nunez also rattled the post during an all-action display, but West Ham improved after the break and the hosts needed a combination of a last-ditch tackle by James Milner and an Alisson stop to thwart Tomas Soucek late on.
