Liverpool were desperate to get their hands on "dirty points"
against Newcastle United, according to Jurgen Klopp, who
isn't too concerned with his team's uninspired performance
in Sunday's 2-0 defeat at St James' Park.
The Reds went behind via a Martin Skrtel own goal but
should have been level when Alberto Moreno buried a
phenomenal volley inside the box, however, the officials
incorrectly ruled out the goal for offside.
After Georginio Wijnaldum finished Liverpool off with a
second goal, Klopp accepted the hosts were the better team
in the Premier League encounter but stressed he is not
always too bothered how his players bring home the points.
"I saw it once," he told Sky Sports. "I think the linesman
would say he should have seen it. I don’t have to say this,
but it was pretty clear. Maybe in this moment we deserved a
point.
"Sometimes you have to get dirty points. I have no problem
with dirty points really. Not in games like this today. But if
you ask me who is the deserved winner than my feeling is it
is more Newcastle than we are."
