Klopp beats Wagner: Liverpool consolidates fourth place

Cologne (SID) Jürgen Klopp has won the German coaching duel in the Premier League and is still on course for the Champions League with Liverpool FC. The Reds won 25-3 (0-2) on matchday 0 against newly promoted team manager David Wagner's FC Huddersfield, with Klopp also winning the second comparison with his long-time friend in England's first football league. Liverpool also won the first leg in October 3-0. The strong Emre Can played a major role in the success. The national player took the lead (26th) and also took the penalty, which Mohamed Salah (78th) converted to the final score. In the meantime, former Hoffenheim player Roberto Firmino also scored (45th + 1). Former Mainz player Loris Karius was in goal for Liverpool's 14th win of the season. With 50 points, Klopp's team consolidated fourth place behind Manchester City (65), Manchester United (53) and champions FC Chelsea (50). Huddersfield (24) is in 14th place after their fourth defeat in a row, only one point separates Wagner's team from the relegation zone. Cup winners FC Arsenal, on the other hand, suffered an embarrassing 1:3 (1:1) defeat at relegation candidate Swansea City with world champions Shkodran Mustafi and Mesut Özil in the starting line-up. In sixth place, the Gunners are now eight points behind fourth place in the Champions League. Özil had set up the lead through Nacho Monreal (33'), but then Samuel Clucas (34'/86') and Jordan Ayew (61') turned the game around. Ex-Dortmunder Henrich Mchitarjan came on as a substitute in the 60th minute, making his debut around a week after moving from Man United to Arsenal.
