Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum believes the club paid the price for a poor first-half against Swansea.

The Reds had gone into the game in red hot form, having won their last four games. They were hoping to make it five league wins in a row under Jurgen Klopp for the first time. However, they were denied by a solitary Swansea goal.

And Wijnaldum believes that it was the first half display that caused problems for Liverpool.

"That's how we wanted to play in the first half also, only we didn't [on the second half performance]," Wijnaldum told Liverpoolfc.com.

"We're more disappointed because we gave one half away, we gave them their only chance and they scored a goal. If you play the whole game like we played the second half you would be disappointed but at least you tried. We didn't in the first half, we didn't do what we had to do.

"I thought the ball was in [from Firmino's header] but unfortunately it wasn't. We were not lucky in the finishing. You have those games. We must keep the confidence and look forward."
