Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, has expressed his satisfaction with his team’s performance against Arsenal in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-0 at Emirates Stadium, eliminating them from the competition.
Two late goals by Luis Diaz and Jakob Kiwior, who pushed through his own net.
Klopp expressed his joy after the team’s fantastic victory.
“I’m super proud. It’s a super difficult draw. Maybe the most difficult we could have got. With all the things we had to consider coming here, Arsenal lined up slightly different, that was smart. We changed a bit at half-time. We were really in the game in the second half. We scored the goals and brought the kids on. We fought for 95 minutes. We have a winter break now.
“It was obvious there would be changes. Today the boys bought into it and we could make them. Not too many. In the end we came through. I’m really happy and proud we could win this game. Arsenal could have won it without a doubt. We finished it off and it spoke for the character of the boys.
“It was really tough. So many good things happened today. It’s really important that you get these kind of different results. You’re still in the game and you can step up in the second half.
“For tonight, great. Wednesday is the next game and then a few days off. We have to make steps if you want to be where we are and around that area then we have to make steps all of the time. It wasn’t an easy game to enjoy in the first half.”
