Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder was happy to spend time with Jurgen Klopp after defeat to the German's Liverpool on Saturday.

The Premier League leaders extended their lead temporarily to eight points against the Blades before Manchester City's 3-1 win over Everton later that day.

Wilder hailed the attitude of the Liverpool manager and said it was refreshing to chat to the Reds boss after the game in Sheffield on Saturday afternoon.

"I'm not a connoisseur of champagne, I don't really drink a lot to be honest, but it was great to sit in a room with him," said Wilder.

"We've had a beer and chatted about the game. It's quite refreshing because I don't get that feel with some managers in the Premier League, which is disappointing.

"We've always had an open door policy here, so it is good to chat. We were after a win and didn't want to just soak up pressure. We had a plan and stability and we rode our luck, even though their chances came from our mistakes.

"We wanted a little bit more and we could have been talking about a big result today. We have to take those opportunities when they come."
