Jurgen Klopp refused to be downhearted despite his annoyance at being denied a strong second-half penalty claim in Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Leicester at Anfield on Wednesday.
The result, coming 24 hours after Premier League title rivals Manchester City was beaten at lowly Newcastle, saw Klopp's team extend its lead over City at the top of the standings to five points.
It could have been seven points after Sadio Mane gave Liverpool an early lead, only for Harry Maguire to score a dramatic equalizer in first-half injury-time.
