Jurgen Klopp: 'Liverpool must stay focused'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp urges his side to remain focused for their final three games of the season after taking a big step towards clinching a top-four spot.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has urged his side to remain focused in the race for the Champions League places following their 1-0 win over Watford on Monday night.

Emre Can's sensational overhead kick proved to be the difference between the two sides at Vicarage Road as Liverpool took full advantage of Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal all dropping points a day previously.

Liverpool are now in the driving seat to earn a spot in the top four, but Klopp warned that the run-in would not be easy for his side, who face Southampton at Anfield this weekend.

"We scored a fantastic goal. I only saw it once but it looked already pretty nice. I turned a little early and didn't see it hit the back of the net. It was difficult game, a difficult opponent. We passed a lot, we improved from last week when we didn't look patient enough, we looked better," he told reporters.

"It is not important, if we give it away it means nothing. We have pressure and it means you fight for something that is good. It is positive pressure. We want to stay focused.

"We don't expect for a second it will be easy. If people think we have the three points against Southampton they can not have seen Southampton this season. We didn't play perfect tonight and it would have been hard to accept, but we got the three points and that is all that the lads deserved."

The win leaves Liverpool four points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United having played a game more than the Red Devils.
