Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was not too downbeat after his team were beaten 3-1 by Arsenal in the Premier League.
The Reds saw their productive run of recent games put to an end by a spirited Gunners side.
Despite letting Arsenal to within two points of their position at the top of the table, Klopp stated he was not panicking about his team's title chances.
He told reporters: Right from the start it didn't really look like our day but maybe we could have turned it into our day second half, the start was really good. Again, it is just proof, evidence, whatever you want, what momentum makes.
First half, Arsenal started well, that's clear. We didn't play enough football, we needed to get used a little bit to each other, like the right-side triangle [it was] tricky to find, let me say it like that. From the start, always when Macca [Alexis Mac Allister] and Curtis [Jones] were on the ball and could turn and could get out of this man-marking situation the pitch was really open for us. There we could have found Trent [Alexander-Arnold] one or two times more often, I would say: that could have caused them even more problems.
Actually, second half we were there, we now understood how the game goes. We now had the momentum after the late equaliser in the first half, but then we concede a second goal and it was a very strange goal.
Now we spoke in the dressing room with all people involved and it is just unlucky. Can you head the ball directly? Yes, but it flies strange. Then, should you expect Martinelli brings the body a little bit? Yes, but we didn't and then all of a sudden the ball rolls there and he has an easy goal. That doesn't happen very often, will not happen very often, but it happened before and can happen. It obviously made the job a bit more tricky.
We made changes as well around that time. Trent, [it] was never planned that he plays 90, it was clear we had to take him off a bit early and stuff like this. [We] brought on Darwin [Nunez] and Harvey [Elliott] and these kind of things.
It all could have worked, but then the 2-1 is obviously not great, the momentum changed completely again, the stadium was there. It was still kind of an open game with not a lot from us and then we had a red card and that obviously made it really tricky to come back. Arsenal deserve the three points, there is no doubt about that: they scored three and we had one shot on target, so that's obviously the one stat that shows the most. We should have had more of that, we could have had more of that, but because of the story of the game it didn't happen."
