James Milner or Mohamed Salah? Jurgen Klopp discusses penalty situation in Liverpool

Mohamed Salah has scored five penalties for Liverpool this season, but that is James Milner who took the lead in Fulham.

Milner has been a regular sniper for the Reds in recent years, but Salah, the top scorer, has been more and more present from 12 yards.

However, with scores equal to Sunday's Craven Cottage and both on the field, it was Milner who took the challenge and sent Sergio Rico back to bring Liverpool back to the top of the first division.

Asked about the situation after the match, Jurgen Klopp said that it was never a question that Milner was not the man to intervene.

"Mo also scored shots on goal, but when Milly is out on the pitch, I think it makes sense for him to take it.

"[Did I have] Doubts? Not really – but even Milly is a human being and he can fail. But he is very good.

"I do not know if it was a penalty, but until now, no one has said that it 's not a penalty, so I' m pretty sick at it. easy to know! "

Liverpool dominated during the first period and early second period.

But failing to make the score 2-0 allowed the cottage owners to tie up – before the last Milner winner.

But Klopp insisted that the failure of his team to bring home their advantage was not trivial.

"We started well and then we lost a bit of pace," said Klopp.

"Fulham is a very good football player. I've seen the last two games and it's a good team without becoming really dangerous in front of goal.

"Five or ten minutes before the equalizer, we had a lot of mistakes, which made it a crazy game. We completely controlled the match, then we gave the ball to Fulham, then the crowd came and it was again a little more exciting.

"We could have scored a goal or two before letting them come back into the game with counterattacks, pbading the wrong ball, it's just the intensity of the competition." It has nothing to do with nerves.

"There were two or three times we asked where they had their best time of the match. Then finally they score.

"But then, I saw the reaction of my players and I was delighted. It was a good reaction. After the equalizer, we were much clearer than before, so everything is fine.

"We had a very busy week in Munich and then came back to London. [It was] An average game, sensational result. "
