Jurgen Klopp said he was “really pleased” that Liverpool could end a run of four matches without victory against league leaders Leicester City on Saturday
First-half substitute Christian Benteke scored the only goal just after the hour to inflict the Foxes’ first loss in three months and first away from home since March.
Liverpool also prevented Leicester from scoring for the first time since May.
“It was deserved,” Klopp said after the game. “We played too complicated at Watford last week [in a 3-0 defeat]. Today we did much better.
“We knew if we stayed concentrated we would get our chances as it was not too intensive in the first half so we could do more in the second half.
“We made this one goal but after all the set-plays of Leicester it was difficult and close and not easy to defend but we did it, we had patience and that is good so we deserved the three points.
“A lot of teams tried it before and it is not too easy so I am really pleased with what we did today.”
