Klopp happy despite Liverpool's rare blank day

So many goals fly in, often at both ends, during Liverpool matches that a scoreless 90 minutes against Southampton came as an unexpected shock, although Juergen Klopp was happy enough with the point that kept his side top of the Premier League.

Normal goal service will probably resume against Sunderland at Anfield next week when Liverpool expect to welcome back Adam Lallana, the player who might have made a difference at a rainswept St Mary's on Saturday.
