Jurgen Klopp admits his Liverpool side showed greed when they were trailing Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

The Reds fell behind when Joe Ledley fired home for the Eagles in the 48th minute but fought back to win 2-1, despite playing the final half-hour with ten men.

James Milner was given his marching orders on 62 minutes for a second yellow but that did not halt the visitors as Roberto Firmino levelled when pouncing on a botched clearance from Palace keeper Alex McCarthy before Christian Benteke, who was the recipient of a questionable penalty, converted forth spot in the sixth minute of stoppage time.

After the game, Klopp indicated his Reds side played in a hungry manner in the second half to produce a win that sees them sitting seventh on the table, six points off fourth.

"To be honest, nobody really thought especially that we would try and make another goal, but the ball went into the box, it was a challenge, it was a foul, it was a penalty... Christian took the chance for us," said the German.

"We played with more focus (with 10 men). We started well, but we didn't have a shot at goal. It was not bad, but not good enough.

"Usually the plan was to play with more direction in the second half, but then we conceded the goal and the red card.

"Then we had nothing to lose. When you're 1-0 down, you have to be greedy."
