Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted after their 1-1 draw at Manchester City.

Trent Alexander-Arnold canceled out Erling Haaland's opener for City.

Klopp said: "It's a really good moment. It's a tough place to come it's no coincidence that they win that many home games. You'd need more time to prepare for the game properly, especially in these kind of circumstances.

"We're still in a process. If we'd played really well today, we could have won we didn't. We played OK. We caused them problems as well, but our good moments didn't feel that good to us [in the first half]. We had to stretch ourselves again [in the second half]. We adapted our positioning slightly. Unfortunately we lost Diogo [Jota], with Ali we'll have to see.

"I told the boys at half-time, imagine what it would be like if we were playing well. We had to settle a little bit. Putting Trent in a different position defensively, plus Dom [Szoboszlai] and Mo [Salah] closing that gap in the second half gave us much more stability. From there we could play football ourselves.

"We had good moments. I wish we could have had more. For the moment we're in, we should take the point as a success. I have nothing to complain about there.

"Trent made a difference today. Before we start talking about positioning, I think it helps us having him on the right wing from time to time."

On Luis Diaz's father being in the away end, he added: "I'm happy for the whole family that everything is fine at the moment. They're all here, it's cool."
