Liverpool extended the gap to second-placed Manchester City to four points after the Reds claimed a crucial three points in a comeback win over Luton Town at Anfield in the 26th Premier League matchday.
Jurgen Klopp's side were stunned by an early opener from Ogbene and went in at half-time a goal down due to solid defending from the Hatters. However, the home side came out all guns blazing in the second half and managed to come from behind to score four goals in just 45 minutes.
The German coach spoke at a press conference after his team's incredible second-half performance and praised the attitude of his players, who were able to "take the good things" they had done in the first half and "ignore the bad ones".
"Tonight is one of those nights where it is difficult to stop talking. I am so happy. We had to ignore the fact we were 1-0 down and use the things that are good and improve the counter-press. The second half was a thunderstorm. Wow," he said
"I will mention this game from now quite a few times. I promised my team a few months ago that I would never mention or use the Barcelona game as an example and I used it again today so I broke my promise. Just because before the game, it was kind of similar. Many players missing, stuff like this. The team that time ignored the fact who is missing and I want us to ignore the fact who is missing," he added.
"This is an example tonight. This is their Barcelona, now against Luton. A difficult situation, plenty of reasons to give up in moments: not tonight and I saw only a super group fighting," concluded the German coach.
