Jurgen Klopp hails 'dirty' Liverpool win over Atletico Madrid

Jurgen Klopp has said he was not fussed about how his Liverpool side played in their 3-2 win at Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, insisting it was the kind of game where only the result mattered.

The Reds initially surrendered a two-goal lead but came roaring back in the second half to see off the challenge of ten-man Atletico.

Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita both scored in the opening 15 minutes, and Klopp was surprised with how quickly his side started.

"It was a tough game, we expected that," he told BT Sport. "We did surprisingly well in the beginning I would say, we didn't expect [Atletico] to be that defensive.

"It was 5-3-2 but the two strikers were involved in the defending and the other eight players defended the centre really well. It was not too easy.
