“I think we give ourselves the best chance to get something from the game but obviously that decision by the referee took our hope away, that poor decision from the referee took our hope away,” Vieira said. Opposition number Klopp was less forthcoming about the incident which occurred in the 85th minute with Jota played through on goal only to miss his kick and collide with Guaita in the aftermath of his failed attempt.

Klopp was at a loss to explain why Liverpool lost their rhythm after dominating the opening 35 minutes.
