Maurizio Sarri press conference: Every word on Rudiger's injury and if Liverpool will win title

Appreciate that as a great game of football?

I think so. Of course Liverpool is one of the best teams in the world. They played very well for 90 minutes but I think that we stayed in the match very well today. We were a bit unlucky for the second goal, for the timing of course because Salah is a talent.

The second goal was a little bit unlucky for the timing and then in three minutes we had three goal chances, two with Hazard and one with Higuain. We hit the post for the 35th time this season but I really am very happy with the performance because we stayed in the match very well, probably three months ago we were not able to stay in this game so we are improving.

It's very difficult to cover the gap in England because the level is very high, to cover the gap against Liverpool or City is very difficult but now we are really very close to the other teams.

View on who will win the league? 

It's very difficult to say because probably it will depend on the post in or post out. It will be point by point but in the end the difference will be a couple of points. 

Antonio Rudiger's injury?

I hope nothing serious but at the moment I am unable to say anything. We need to get back to Cobham and have another visit with the doctor. Probably we need something else to be sure it is not serious but at the moment I am not sure. 

Disappointed with the start of second half?

We were a little bit low, defended low in the first half as we did in the first half because as you know Liverpool is very able to approach the first half and second half in the first ten minutes in a fast way so it isn't easy to play against them.

We were able to pass the first ten minutes in the same result in the last 20 to 25 minutes we could find a lot of spaces because they needed to win. The target was to arrive in the last 20 to 25 minutes 0-0.
