Klopp hailed the reaction of his players to West Ham United's equaliser as Liverpool went second in the Premier League
After Mohamed Salah's penalty was cancelled out by Jarrod Bowen's diving header before half time, the Reds responded after the break with goals from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota
The victory was enough to close the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City to two points
Liverpool scored three goals for a fifth time this season across all competitions to extend their winning run to six games
Klopp's men are now unbeaten since the start of April, a sequence which stretches back 18 games in total

"The start is promising,"
"We have to get used to different things, that is how it is. The penalty came from a counter attack. A sensational pass from Darwin I think to Lucho (Luis Diaz), then he is the one in the box as well.
"And then Mo arrives completely free and if he is not getting fouled, then he probably finishes it off. That looks positive."
"These boys are good footballers and when they have a great day, then they are extremely good. But when it doesn’t start well. That is why I like the development into the game. This time we didn’t concede first but we conceded anyway. It feels the same to be honest, not great. But again the reaction was really top.
"That’s the most important thing for us in the moment because we have to become this kind of team that is really difficult to deal with, because when we are not playing well, we are solid. When we are playing well, we are really good. So that is how you can get consistency and that is what we obviously need."
Klopp added:
"It was expected, a difficult, difficult game. Some very good moments in the first half but we were not enough in control to deny them completely, which is anyway difficult, super difficult.
"I really thought we played good in different phases. Lost some balls we shouldn’t have lost, that’s clear. But we scored our goal which was a super counter attack and then we were asking a little bit for the equaliser.
