Liverpool need to be like Chelsea to close games out - Jurgen Klopp

This is a modal window.

Admitting it was less than what Liverpool were hoping for, Jurgen Klopp is still happy with the performance as a whole.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has urged his players to be more like Chelsea as they look to secure Champions League football next season.

Klopp's side conceded an 87th-minute equaliser to draw 2-2 with Bournemouth on Wednesday, meaning the gap to fifth-placed Arsenal was cut to six points with the Londoners having two games in hand.

The manager had tried to avoid a slip-up by switching to a three-man defence with 25 minutes to go when he replaced the ill Philippe Coutinho with centre-back Joel Matip.
