Liverpool's Cody Gakpo reacted to the 2-2 draw.

Gakpo told TNT Sports: “The result was not what we wanted. We came for the three points.

“We played a good game, we controlled the first half and then we conceded.

“It's difficult to come back, but we scored two goals and then we needed to be calmer and keep the ball.

“We needed to play and not concede goals, but we did it.”

He continued: “The ball doesn't go in. That's something we've had to improve on for quite some time.”

“If we knew why (it was happening) we would solve the problem. I don't know.”

Stuart Pearce has been speaking out about the incident between Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp.

He told talkSPORT: “Whether Salah is thinking about the summer (and a possible Liverpool exit) or not, I don't know.

“But when you set your standards as ridiculously high as Salah's, there's no doubt you get frustrated with your own form.

“I'm watching a replay of the interaction now, Jurgen has said something to Salah and he's reacting, and the more he reacts, the more and more physical it gets.

“Núñez and Gómez had to be really peacemakers and stop it.

“This sort of thing happens because of the frustration Salah will feel with his own form and knowing the manager won't be here for a couple of weeks.”
