Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp also in awe of Alexis Mac Allister

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp also praised Alexis Mac Allister for keeping his cool at the death to help the Reds win the game.

He told after the game (via TBR Football):

“In the last second the guy who looks like a former Liverpool player thought I’ll score a goal and decide the game. The goal was set up by a guy who was the calmest on the whole pitch. I saw it only live but I’ll never forget it. He was calm."

Klopp added:

"He chips the ball there. Super assist and super important goal. If you’d told me 12 days ago we would win all four games I would have said no chance, it was impossible. In the circumstances winning the games is ridiculous.”

Liverpool's next match is in the Europa League against Sparta Praha on March 7.
