Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has said that his side deserved three points during their 0-0 draw against Manchester United on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho seemingly opted for his side to be defensive and play for a point during the game which was partly due to the absence of Maroune Fellaini and Paul Pogba.

"We deserved more than a point. Again, we showed the quality from the first minute that we were a better team than Manchester United today," the Croatia international told the club's website.

"Unfortunately when you don't score and when they have a good goalkeeper like De Gea… it's just unfortunate we couldn't get the goal and take the three points.

"But we need to keep our heads up and move on. We have important games now in front of us, but we need to learn about today that we can play against the really deep-defending teams.

"This is football. But if you work hard and don't think about this game - there's still some sadness, of course, that you couldn't take the three points - but… in every game we're showing better and better and I'm really confident in this team, you know."
