“The performance was top, it was a top game and a good game for both teams,” Klopp told BT Sport. “We were dominant against a side full of confidence and with a clear plan.”
The German boss was delighted to see a positive reaction from his team after their 7-2 humbling at Aston Villa before the international break.
“It was probably the best away game since I was at Liverpool,” he said. “I saw a really good performance. I would be happier if we win but I wanted to see a response and see the team we were before.”
Everton forward Calvert-Lewin said he was disappointed not to make it five wins out five since the start of the season.
“I’m disappointed we didn’t win the game and I know the fans are too,” he said.
“It’s frustrating but in terms of the bigger picture we got a point, we take it and we keep building. We want to keep that unbeaten run going and building towards that bigger picture at the end of the season.”
