Jürgen Klopp has been coaching Liverpool FC since 2015.

Now, for the first time in his career, he has been able to celebrate a victory at Manchester's Old Trafford and thus preserved his chances of participating in the Champions League.

“I like the timing.

To be honest, I would say that we needed the win tonight the most, ”said Klopp after the triumph at Manchester United.

Despite renewed fan protests before kick-off, the Premier League game at Manchester United, which was canceled at the beginning of May, could take place, the Reds won 4-2 (2-1).

As a result, Liverpool, fifth in the table, reduced their deficit to fourth Chelsea to four points and played one game less than the Londoners.

“The only thing we can do to get into the Champions League is to win all of our games.

Nothing has changed about that, ”said the Liverpool coach.

Bruno Fernandes (10th minute) gave the table runners-up from Manchester an early lead, Diogo Jota (34th) and Roberto Firmino (45th + 3 / 47th) turned the game around with a double.

Marcus Rashford gave United hope again, Mohamed Salah (90.) made the final decision.

Manchester United stayed second, but lost their second game in just two days (on Tuesday the team lost 2-1 to Leicester City in their own stadium).

Previously, the club had not lost 14 games in a row in the Premier League.

Liverpool bus held up before game

Before the catch-up game, the Liverpool FC team bus was blocked.

Cars temporarily braked the vehicle on the way to the Old Trafford stadium in Manchester, as pictures on social networks showed on Thursday evening.

The crew and Klopp were apparently not on board at this point.

As the PA news agency reported, the bus was able to continue after an interruption.

“We got the information that something had happened to our bus and we had to change buses, but that was before we could get in.

Our drive to the stadium was perfectly fine, the police did an incredible job, ”said Klopp.

The United team arrived at the stadium well before the start of the game.

There were also protests around the stadium during the catch-up game

In front of the stadium, thousands demonstrated against the owners and their plans to join the controversial Super League.

There were also protests around the stadium on Thursday.
