"No, we are still far away from [the title race],"

he told Sky Sports.

"We just need to focus on each game and take it one at a time, we don't have to think about the title at the moment.

"Of course, personally I always love to play for a title and in my head we are going to fight for it… we don't have to feel pressure because there is still a gap to first and second.

"You can see everybody here [is] unbelievable, and we should be in a better position than we are. The players are excited to win again and I think that will give us a good push for the next games."

Virgil van Dijk who helped Liverpool to keep a clean sheet against Man City and Haaland after the game praised Liverpool fans and the atmosphere at Anfield.

"It takes a lot to get three points [against City],"

the Dutchman told Sky Sports

. "It was always going to be very intense.

"It's always like that [the atmosphere] and when certain moments happened in the game it added fuel to the fire.

"It started with the hard work we put on the pitch, and that’s the minimum that’s expected here at this beautiful football club.

"That's what we gave, and the energy we had back today [from the fans] was definitely needed in order to push us forward and keep hold of the 1-0 advantage.

"They played a big part and that's what we need for the rest of the season, especially after a difficult start."
