What Jurgen Klopp said in Liverpool changing room at half time to inspire Chelsea win

Jurgen Klopp instructed his Liverpool players to create space for each other during his half time team-talk, according to Jordan Henderson.

The Reds went into the break level with Chelsea on Sunday, after the Blues did a great job of crowding their box every time Liverpool came forward.

Klopp called on his players to look for gaps at the break, and his Reds players took his words on board in what was a thrilling second half at Anfield.

"Keep going, keep doing the right things, we need to create better space for each other," said Henderson on Sky Sports, when asked what Klopp said at half time.

"Keep creating chances and defend better as a team."
