Jurgen Klopp delighted to escape Atletico Madrid with 'three dirty points' as Liverpool boss admits his side were far from their best in pivotal Champions League victory

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp took great satisfaction in 'three dirty points' after a wild 3-2 Champions League win over 10-man Atletico Madrid in the Wanda Metropolitano.

Having taken an early 2-0 lead through Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita, Klopp's side were pegged back by an Antoine Griezmann double before half-time.

Griezmann was sent off after the break to give Liverpool a numerical advantage and Salah's penalty put them ahead with 12 minutes to go.
