The Foxes didn’t have too many clear-cut chances but took the one quality opportunity that came.

Mane won the penalty which James Milner scored and Jurgen Klopp celebrated that goal wildly.

The German is known to be a passionate person on the pitch, and a video clip from The Athletic’s James Pearce showed just how much this win meant to the manager.

Klopp fist-bumped the fans at the Kop End as we kept our 100% winning start in the Premier League intact.

The Foxes were also one of the few teams to take a point from Anfield last season.

Every point is important for us in the battle to win the Premier League and it was great that we didn’t settle for the draw on Saturday.
