Liverpool defeated Fulham 3-1, ending a string of negative results that saw the Reds exit the FA Cup and the Europa League and lose the top spot in the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp was asked about his team's professionalism to deal with the setbacks. He replied, as quoted by the club's official website: "Look, I don’t question these kind of things. We were that before.
"Obviously we didn’t gain an awful lot of points in that period but I think it was still one or two. OK, we should have won games, we didn’t. That’s not great.
"But [we] created a lot and we are in the situation we are because of the character of these boys. Nobody expected us to be here and here we are. That’s because of the boys."
Nobody fancied Liverpool to fight for the title at the beginning of the season but the Reds have proven to be genuine contenders.
