Klopp relieved to see patience pay for Reds

LIVERPOOL - Jurgen Klopp praised Liverpool's persistence as it did just enough to beat Crystal Palace 1-0 thanks to a cool finish from Sadio Mane.

Liverpool fans were getting increasingly frustrated on Saturday as Klopp's side struggled to break down Palace's obdurate defense.

However, Senegal winger Mane finally made the difference, capitalizing on a mistake by Luka Milivojevic to slot past the impressive Wayne Hennessey with 17 minutes to go.
