Jürgen Klopp said there was "a lot of good moments and a lot of bad moments" as a Sadio Mane stoppage-time penalty helped Liverpool to a 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Leroy Sane broke the stalemate at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on 57 minutes, but Mo Salah buried a header less than a minute after coming on to draw things level.

Neither Salah nor match-winner Sane were expected to feature in the clash, but the latter showed his worth rolling a spot-kick past Joe Hart.

Klopp was quoted on the Liverpoolfc.com site as saying: "The game for us was very important, but it is not a sign in the direction or whatever.

"It's only a game we played and a lot of good moments which we can use and a lot of bad moments we can work on. That's all."

The German added that he had no concerns over Salah's shoulder injury.

He said: "I was not concerned about it otherwise he wouldn't have played.

"He came in and scored after pretty much 35 seconds. He had a big impact together with Sadio and Dom (Salanke), and the midfield with Marko (Grujic), Pedro (Chirivella) and Ben (Woodburn) played fantastic."

Klopp also reiterated that he could not guarantee a trophy for Liverpool in the upcoming campaign.

"I know that people want to hear that I tell you we can win this or that, but I have no clue if we will win something. But we will go for it with all we have," the German boss added.

"We have to enjoy our football, otherwise it makes no sense. We cannot only go for a 1-0 here, 1-0 there, all I know if you win silverware in the end then people are probably happy, but the whole year was still rubbish."

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was upbeat about the display despite the end result.

He was quoted on the Manchester City official website as saying: "It was incredible, what we did. For 75 minutes, it was incredible with the players we have what we did against that team - the finalists of the Champions League, who have amazing players.

"I'm so proud and happy to be manager of these guys for that reason. Our personality was incredible. In the first half, we had a very young average age.

"For the last 15 minutes, we were so tired. We made some changes and in the last few minutes, Liverpool deserved to score goals."
