Jurgen Klopp moans about conceding three 'unnecessary' goals in 3-2 defeat to Manchester City

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes his side conceded three 'unnecessary' goals to Manchester City after his side were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in a thrilling last-16 tie.

Goals from Erling Haaland, Riyad Mahrez and Nathan Ake made sure City edged a five-goal thriller 3-2 - with Liverpool's Fabio Carvalho and Mohamed Salah giving the Reds hope.

Pep Guardiola's side took the lead three times during the game, first through Erling Haaland - who scored just ten minutes into City's return to action following the World Cup break.
