Liverpool boss Klopp praises front trio for Brighton win

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp praised his front trio for victory at Brighton.

Mohamed Salah's second-half penalty was the difference for the 1-0 win.

Klopp said, "It was a brilliant situation. It makes sense for a striker to go dribbling in the box because it's difficult for the defender to defend it clear. He was in a brilliant position in that moment – if he could shoot, for sure it was a big chance as well. That's cool.

"Sadio (Mane) had moments, Bobby (Firmino) always. We speak about maturity after the 1-0 but how they defend then, if you see it in their face – how Bobby is talking to everybody, bringing Sadio into position and all that – that's the massive difference. That's really cool. The boys worked really hard and deserved these three points, I think, absolutely."
