UCL: Atalanta hands Liverpool a “deserved” defeat at home
Two goals in four minutes was enough for Atalanta to deal a lacklustre Liverpool what Klopp described as a deserved defeat in their Group D encounter on Wednesday.
A much-changed Reds side lacked fluidity and failed to have a shot on target at Anfield as the surprise defeat blew the Reds chances of earning an early qualification from the group stage to the round of 16.
Josip Ilicic and Robin Gosens struck for the Serie A side midway through the second half.
Klopp’s side remains top of the group and needs one win from their final two games – at home to Ajax and away to Midtjylland – to qualify.
Ajax 3 – 1 Midtjylland
In the other game of Group D, Ajax defeated Midtjylland 3-1
