Klopp urges Liverpool to keep the pressure on top-four rivals after win at Leicester

Jurgen Klopp has urged Liverpool to "keep the pressure" on Newcastle United and Manchester United after Monday night's win at Leicester City moved the Reds to within one point of their top-four rivals.

A superb first-half double from Curtis Jones and a stunning Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick in the second half ensured Liverpool claimed a 3-0 victory at the King Power Stadium for their seventh Premier League win in a row.

Liverpool's late-season resurgence has seen them surge up the table but they will need a helping hand from the two clubs above them if they are to steal a place in next season's Champions League.

Newcastle and United are level on 66 points with three games left to play, while Liverpool are on 65 but only have two matches remaining.
