Wijnaldum urges Liverpool not to dwell on Man City setback

Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum says they shouldn't dwell on defeat at Manchester City on Thursday night.

The result sees City cut Liverpool's lead to four points.

Wijnaldum said, "I think it was a good game. We didn't start well. City were the better team first half but we still created chances and were unlucky. Second half we played better and created more chances and scored. We were unlucky with other chances not going in. One moment we didn't defend well and they scored.

"We are two teams trying to force the other team to make a mistake. Both teams lost the ball. It was a game in which everything could happen. In the end we lost and are disappointed. But we also need to keep our confidence.

"I don't want to say it is a hammer blow. You are always disappointed to lose a game, especially when you come back and create chances. We will be happy if we had a draw. There is no team in the Premier League that will be happy with a loss.

"We are still four points clear."
