Liverpool 2-2 Brighton: Jürgen Klopp's reaction

Jürgen Klopp rued Liverpool's failure to build on a two-goal lead as Brighton & Hove Albion came from behind to claim a 2-2 draw at Anfield on Saturday.

A brilliant early strike from Jordan Henderson was added to by Sadio Mane’s header as the Reds went 2-0 up by the midway point of the first half.

However, Brighton halved their deficit before half-time through Enock Mwepu and Leandro Trossard equalised midway through the second period of a keenly contested match that featured several excellent saves from Alisson Becker.

Read on for a transcript of Klopp’s post-match press conference, during which he confirmed that Naby Keita was forced off in the first half with a hamstring injury…

I cannot change it now, [but] it feels like a defeat even though I know it’s not a defeat.
