EPL: Klopp concedes title after collapse

-

LIVERPOOL: Jurgen Klopp composed himself, gave a little chuckle, and rubbed his nose. The Liverpool manager had just seen his team collapse at Leicester to a 3-1 loss - a third straight defeat in its faltering defense of the English Premier League trophy - and Klopp was being asked if its title bid was over, even with three months left in the season."Yes," Klopp eventually said.

Since a 7-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace just before Christmas, the champions have won just two of their 10 games.
