‘I think he will be slightly concerned,’ Owen said. ‘He will probably be looking at it like why has that happened?
‘Is it a coincidence or is it happening too much to draw some conclusions from it?
‘But the overriding feeling would be a bit of relief. It is a great first result getting three points away from home and you are in a really good position.
‘He will be delighted, but a few little concerns about why it is happening all the time.
‘But it is some character to keep coming back and go on and win.’
Liverpool will now turn their attentions to maintaining their unbeaten start to the Premier League season, a run which includes four wins and a draw.
Klopp’s side will host West Ham at Anfield on Sunday, with the visitors having also been in Europa League action on Thursday.
