Jurgen Klopp believes his team deserved maximum points following the 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he was caught between two minds after the draw against Arsenal, as he thought his opponents did not deserve the point.
Arsenal played out a thrilling 2-2 draw with Liverpool earlier in the day, leaving the Premier League race wide open.
A pulsating 2-2 draw
The Gunners got the game going like the league leaders they are, and a Gabriel Martinelli goal gave them the lead inside the first ten minutes.
In the 28th minute of the game, Gabriel Jesus increased Arteta's team's advantage. Nevertheless, just before halftime, Mohammed Salah helped Liverpool get a goal back.

The Reds made a strong start to the second half and were given a penalty early on, but Salah played wide. But Liverpool's substitute Roberto Firmino scored an equaliser late in a half when they gave it their all.
What Klopp said
The German tactician analysed the draw against Arsenal by splitting the game into two, the opening exchanges, which he admitted Arsenal dominated, and the rest, which he thought was all about his team.
He said he was happy with how his players reacted to going two goals down, highlighting how crucial it was that they pulled one back before half-time.
However, he thought they should have scored more goals, enough to win the game, calling it typical of his team this season to miss chances.
"A bit typical for us this season,” Klopp said, per the BBC.
“An open game, completely open, they score with the first situation and the second one. Our reaction was good. It was a spectacular game in the end. How we didn’t win it with those late chances I don’t know.
