Liverpool’s hopes for the Premier League title suffered a significant blow following their 2-2 draw with West Ham United on Saturday.
Despite taking the lead, the Reds couldn’t maintain their advantage as Michail Antonio’s late header secured a point for West Ham.
This result adds to Liverpool’s recent struggles, marking what has been a challenging month for the club.
With little left to vie for this season aside from securing a Champions League spot, Liverpool find themselves trailing behind Arsenal and Manchester City in the title race.
Arsenal’s victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday further widened the gap between them and Liverpool, with the Gunners now holding a five-point lead.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s impressive 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest strengthens their position at the top of the table.
Klopp said after the West Ham stalemate: “Intense for the boys – 10 days, four games, last one today.
“First half, dominating, good game.
“Still, really good game, super-controlled, more intense now, caused massive problems and if there would have been a deserved winner today it would have been only Liverpool, but football is not like that, not always at least.
That’s obviously not enough for us but not to change anymore.”
