Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: I want Anfield fans to learn from Sunderland result

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has urged Anfield fans to learn from victory over Sunderland.

Klopp says they needed greater support from the home support during a tense second-half.

He explained: "We all need to learn to handle a situation like this, we have the football solution and we work on it and that's what we try to do all the time, but then of course I believe in atmosphere. I think it's a big, big part of the game, part of the joy. The crowd was really, really, really good in the first half and in the second half it was like 'come on, now we've waited long enough'.

"Like I said, in a game like this the decisions are made in the small moment, in the detail. Atmosphere's more than a detail, but it makes everything easier. That's why I tried to remind the crowd, and they reacted more than brilliantly. After that it was easier for everyone to enjoy the challenge today."
