"There had been so many chances, at half time it could have been 2-2 or 3-3 because the first half was even," said the Liverpool boss.

"The quality of the game was good, it was probably one of the best derbies in terms of football, so credit to them and to us.

"It was competitive but it was never nasty. The performance was good, the result is disappointing because we had enough chances to win but sometimes you have games like those.

"We came out like that in the second half against Newcastle but didn't make as many chances as we did today and we won that game."
