Klopp sees small steps of Liverpool progress in Chelsea stalemate

LIVERPOOL: Jurgen Klopp said a 0-0 draw with Chelsea on Saturday is a step in the right direction for Liverpool despite the point doing little for their chances of catching the top four.
Both sides remain nine points adrift of the Champions League places after a poor game that summed up their struggles this season.
Chelsea had a goal scored by Kai Havertz ruled out for offside early on and there were promising flashes from new 100 million euro ($108 million) signing Mykhailo Mudryk off the bench.
