Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has admitted his Liverpool side did not deserve to beat  West Ham on Monday evening.

The Reds dropped points for consecutive matches after being held to a 1-1 draw by Manuel Pellegrini’s Hammers.

Sadio Mane put Liverpool ahead on 22 minutes with a goal that should have been disallowed for offside. Michail Antonio equalized for West Ham six minutes later. Jurgen  Klopp says Liverpool were not scared by West Ham.

Speaking after the match, Klopp said: “It was a tough game. Apparently our goal was offside and maybe the referee knew that in the second half. It’s a point and it’s a fair point.”

“Probably all the reports are already written without me saying anything, I didn’t see anything about pressure that you can ask in the next few questions. We struggled most  with the set-pieces. We had ups and downs. At the end we were up again. Now we take the  point and carry on.”

The Hammers’ boss Manuel Pellegrini is however confident of his side after the draw.

“We lost balls in different moments. It’s a deep defending side and we have to cope with that and create. We had a lot of chances to win this game. We drew because they scored a  clearly offside goal.

“The last play of the game, Origi missed that goal. He was offside. It was a big mistake from the linesman. Playing against a team who has scored so many goals with the best defence in  the league, I’m happy with the performance but disappointed with the result,” he said.
