Liverpool boss Klopp: Leicester will end season in top four

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists victory against Leicester was well-deserved as they snatched a 2-1 win at Anfield.

The Reds were handed a controversial spot-kick deep into stoppage time when Marc Albrighton was adjudged to have brought down Sadio Mane.

James Milner calmly slotted home the winner in a result Klopp admits already feels like a huge moment in their season.

Klopp told Liverpool's official website : “So, if you score in the 95th minute with a penalty everybody would say that's lucky but over the full game we had more chances, we were the better team, so I'm really happy about that.

“This one [win] alone feels already big enough, to be honest, because of how difficult this league is [and] how difficult the life of an LFC player is.

“I think Leicester at the end of the season will be in the top four and then they will realise how different it is when you play Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday. The quality they have is already good and we all know Brendan, what a sensational manager he is and what he's doing with them."
