Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp reacts to Leicester win, talks Alisson mistake

The Reds beat Leicester 2-1 this afternoon at the King Power Stadium.

Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino netted to spare Alisson’s blushes following his horror mistake.

The Brazil international tried to take on Kelechi Iheanacho in his own box but lost the ball.

Iheanacho squared the ball to Rachid Ghezzal, who slotted home, to score the first goal against Liverpool this season.

And Klopp has opened up on Alisson’s mistake, claiming he knew it would happen.

He said: “I thought it would happen.

“I didn’t think it would happen the next match. He knows it, we need to get used to it.

“We constantly get the ball to the keeper but the player need to learn there are other solutions.

“Joe (Gomez) could have cleared the ball, Alisson could have too. That is how it is.

“He is a fantastic goalkeeper, makes some fantastic saves.

“He didn’t do what he was supposed to but all good.”

On Liverpool’s performance, Klopp added: “We could have scored earlier in the game, I said a few times in the past a dry pitch mean not good football.

“Leicester wanted to be aggressive but couldn’t because we moved so well.

“The moment the pitch got dry we needed too long to get used to it.

“Second half we have to control with the ball, we did that without the ball by dropping deeper.

“We were in a few situations a little lucky, but think we deserved to win.

The win sends Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table after four games.

The Reds are back in action next Saturday when Klopp’s men travel to Tottenham.
