EPL: Klopp insists on chasing the title after draw against Man City

One of the most impressive matches over the weekend was between rivals Man City and Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium.

The game, which ended in a 2-2 draw, saw the Reds let one goal in from Man City after Kevin De Bruyne’s deflected effort, but Liverpool’s star Diogo Jota responded shortly.

Gabriel Jesus would go on to score as Man City took a 2-1 lead into halftime, although it arguably should have been more, and Liverpool responded immediately after the breakthrough Sadio Mane.

The outcome of the match means Man City are still one point ahead of Liverpool as manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted his side are not giving up on winning the title this season.

“We will not stop chasing,” Klopp told Sky Sports News after the game. “Seven games left. We have to focus on Benfica, then City – then we focus on the Premier League, then we will see.

“We could have done better but we did a lot of moments really well. The intensity of the game was crazy. We meet again in 6 days – it was good fun. I liked it. The result we have to live with and we can live with it.”

Liverpool will again face Pep Guardiola’s men in the FA Cup semi-final after Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg with Benfica.
