'It was the perfect response': Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp 'really happy' with 98th-minute winner after being frustrated with Newcastle's time-wasting tactics during fiery clash

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp felt Liverpool's 98th minute winner was the perfect way to secure victory after being frustrated by Newcastle's timewasting during Wednesday's emotionally-charged tussle at Anfield.

The German voiced his annoyance at the Bournemouth bench and the fourth official as his side toiled after going behind to Alexander Isak's clinical strike in the first-half on Wednesday night.

But Roberto Firmino's equaliser lifted the mood just after the hour mark and sub Fabio Carvalho netted the winner in stoppage time.
