LIVERPOOL, England -- Jurgen Klopp says he was pleased with Liverpool's response and ability to deal with the physicality of Stoke City in the 4-1 win at Anfield on Tuesday evening, but admitted the visitors caused his team problems with their tactics.
Liverpool cut Chelsea's lead at the top of the Premier League to six points with another dominant attacking performance in front of their own supporters.
The visitors broke the deadlock in the 12th minute through Jonathan Walters' header before Liverpool took a first-half lead courtesy of goals from Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino.
Giannelli Imbula put the ball into his own net, while Daniel Sturridge netted his first Premier League goal of the season within seconds of replacing Divock Origi midway through the second half.
