Jurgen Klopp "angry" after Burnley draw

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits that he is "angry" after his side are held to a 1-1 draw with Burnley.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he is "angry" after his side could only muster a 1-1 draw with Burnley this afternoon.

Mohamed Salah was quick to restore parity for the Reds after Scott Arfield gave the visitors an unlikely lead at Anfield inside the first half an hour, but despite their domination of the contest from there on - with some 35 shots in all - Klopp's side were unable to find a winner.

The result rounds off a miserable week for Liverpool, who were humiliated 5-0 by Manchester City last Saturday before opening their Champions League campaign with a 2-2 home draw with Sevilla.

"I'm not happy, I'm angry with the result but pleased with the performance," Klopp told reporters afterwards. "It's our fault. We were dominant, fantastic attitude. We played good, were fluent with seven changes [from the Sevilla game]. But only one goal.

"When you have shots on goal it's not about their defending. Their keeper made a few outstanding saves. I'm not happy, as when [Dominic] Solanke hit the bar I am sure it was a penalty.

"It's the best we have played against Burnley since I have been in. In the past we didn't feel good in the game. Today I saw fluid movements, passing between the lines, speed, crosses. We have to take the point and carry on."

Klopp's charges now go on to face Leicester City twice at the King Power, first on Tuesday night in the EFL Cup then again next Saturday in the league.
