It leaves Liverpool two points adrift of league leaders Arsenal, who meet Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on Sunday afternoon and Klopp refused to admit a mistake in making so many changes to his lineup on Saturday lunchtime.

“Harvey Elliott played really well, Jarell Quansah did really well, as a centre-back you are from time to time kind of around how goals are scored that’s how it is, besides that he played a really good game, super important for us.

I tried to do the right thing.

“I didn’t think the game looked like West Ham would score in the next few seconds to be 100% honest, it happened anyway.

We could have changed Robbo, you could see he was on the edge but it was tricky."

Klopp added: "Their first three changes were just to keep controlling the game and score the third one.

I didn’t feel it was a moment that West Ham would score, no."
