LIVERPOOL -- Jurgen Klopp believes Sunderland are the "most defensive team" he has faced in his managerial career but praised Liverpool's ability to eventually break them down in the 2-0 win on Saturday.
Anfield breathed a collective sigh of relief when Divock Origi broke the deadlock in the 75th minute after Sunderland had frustrated the hosts until then, with James Milner securing the win from the penalty spot in the dying seconds.
The Reds boss insisted at a news conference afterwards that his team's intensity going forward forced the visitors to set up in the way they did.
