Jurgen Klopp: 'Liverpool win over Manchester City is historic'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes that people will be talking about his side's 4-3 win over the previously-unbeaten Manchester City for decades to come.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed that his side's 4-3 win over Manchester City this afternoon will be talked about for decades to come.

The Reds ended City's bid to join an elite group of invincibles who have gone through an entire top-flight season unbeaten at Anfield, with a spell of three goals in eight second-half minutes ultimately proving enough to end the visitors' 30-match undefeated run in the league.

Liverpool almost threw two points away when they conceded two late goals, but Klopp insists that he was not worried about City notching an equaliser at the end of a "historical game".

"You can watch it as a manager or as a football fan and I prefer to do that - wow! What a game! Two teams, full throttle. This was a historical game you will talk about in 20 years because it looks like City will not lose another one this year," he told BBC Sport.

"People watched this game all over the world and this is why - take your heart, throw it on the pitch and play like this, both teams. We played, I don't know which level, caused them problems like hell. I was not scared at the end, not that I didn't think we could concede a fourth, I have known my boys long enough now, it was so intense.

"If you combine quality with attitude you see a game like this. I really loved it. You will find someone who wants to talk about defending, no clean sheet, but he can blow up my boots."

The victory lifts Liverpool up to third place and now level on points with second-placed Manchester United.
