Liverpool overcame Sheffield United 3-1 at Anfield to move back to the top of the Premier League
Jurgen Klopp labelled Darwin Nunez's fortuitous opener in Thursday's 3-1 win over Sheffield United as one of his "favourite goals ever" as Liverpool went back top of the Premier League.
It was the most unusual of all the Reds striker's 33 goals since his move from Benfica in the summer of 2022 but Klopp was delighted with how his No.9 opened the scoring before Conor Bradley's own goal evened things up in the second period.LIVE: Liverpool vs Sheffield United score updates, reaction and analysis
"As a manager you have to take it as you get it," Klopp said. "I would prefer to be 5-0 up at the moment already but that is tricky. We scored one of my favourite goals ever to be 1-0 up, because I think a striker from time to time needs things like that and we try a lot to press the opponent, it is rare you get that close but he did. That is great.
"We controlled the game but there are different ways to do it, but the way we did it today was not the right one. I didn't expect to have chance after chance after chance. What you have to do is accelerate, speed up, underlap, overlap, that is what we did and Robbo was going down the line constantly, which was helpful.
