Klopp’s side saw their 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions ended by Lookman’s second half strike.
Liverpool trail leaders Manchester City by six points, with the champions playing at Brentford on Wednesday.
Beaten for the first time since their 3-2 loss at West Ham in November, second placed Liverpool paid the price for missed chances.
Crucially, Kasper Schmeichel saved Salah’s first half penalty as Liverpool failed to score in the league for the first time since March.
