The lone goal win has led to a 25 point distance between the English Premier League (EPL) leaders, Liverpool and Manchester City, who are second on the league standings with 51 points.
But Klopp’s men need five more wins from their remaining 12 games to clinch their first Premier League title since doing so, 30 years ago.
Manager of the Reds says, “The gap is so insane, I don’t really understand it.” I have not had that before. It is outstanding, so difficult.
“I go back into the changing room and we chat about the things and then I am like ‘Oh, but congratulations. We won the game, another three points,” Jürgen Klopp told Sky Sports.
Liverpool have been champions of England 18 times, trailing only rivals Manchester United and are looking forward to winning this season’s title, having placed second last season.
