Jurgen Klopp says they were lucky in the game against Sheffield United

Yesterday Liverpool celebrated their 7th straight victory in the Premier League as they won 1-0 against Sheffield United. Although the Reds celebrated another victory, Jurgen Klopp revealed his impression of Sheffield United and claimed that they were lucky to win the game.
Answering to talkSPORT's question, Klopp said:“Very! Very difficult because the opponents were very organised and I felt a sensational spirit in the stadium together with the team, it was a really good atmosphere. “[Sheffield United were] fighting, a complete fighting unit to play against and they were really, ready for us to be honest and it wasn’t really a ‘clicking’ day." “I thought we defended the counter-attacks really well… we did well and both wingers were ready to work really hard," continued Klopp. “Then we scored the goal which was of course lucky and unlucky for Sheffield United and then we played the game well. “I don’t think we didn’t play well, it’s not about that. You have to be ready to win a game like this and that’s football. It means you defend well and you attack well. “We had chances, we didn’t have ten chances but then we scored the goal and then we had another three maybe not ‘no brainers’ but close to it. You have to be ready to fight for the result and that’s what we did.”
Liverpool's upcoming game will be against Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League on Wednesday, October 2.
