Jurgen Klopp has picked out the man he felt was culpable for Liverpool's collapse as they relinquished a 3-1 lead and were held to a 3-3 draw by Aston Villa
Jurgen Klopp has pointed the finger at a 'mistake' by Virgil van Dijk that ignited Liverpool's dramatic collapse against Aston Villa.
Duran then levelled the scores two minutes later with a fortunate deflection off Moussa Diaby's pass, leaving goalkeeper Alisson stranded. Despite making four substitutions in the 75th minute, Klopp insisted the changes were necessary and pointed to Van Dijk's error. Despite the late collapse, the outgoing manager expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, though he acknowledged the challenge they faced after Duran scored. "The character from the boys tonight was outstanding in our situation," Klopp added.
With a final appearance imminent, Liverpool are set to face Wolves, securing a third-place finish and celebrating the conclusion of Klopp's remarkable eight-and-a-half-year reign.
