You have to fight, that’s what we did today. “I can play against any team or manager”. “My team can play against any team and win, lose, but more than this is hard”. For every Lucas borderline yellow card their fans are complaining about there’s a John Terry handball in the box and Diego Costa once again trying to injure someone.

“What do you think [about Lucas’ incident]?” You are not punished by FA.
“There are things that are out of our hands”.
The Brazil worldwide ended a wait of 710 minutes for a Premier League goal when he curled home the equaliser at the end of the first half at Stamford Bridge.
“We made a goal and deserved the draw at half time”.
Klopp, as ever, was an animated figure on the touchline, not just encouraging his players but also delivering the most fearful verbal volleys in the direction of Nathaniel Clyne and James Milner, in particular, when they did not do as he demanded.

Meanwhile, Manchester City needed a late penalty from Yaya Toure to secure a 2-1 win over 10-man Norwich that kept the team atop the Premier League. As Mourinho gambled by bringing on Brazilian Kenedy, Fabregas and Radamel Falcao as attack-minded substitutes, the Reds punished Chelsea with counter-attacks.
