Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp who was impressed by his sides performance spoke with BT Sport after the match.

"A lot of people probably expected us to slip again because of the situation, and the boys didn't and I'm really happy about that," Klopp told BT Sport.

"It was the game we wanted, the game we needed. Leipzig can be a real monster - they overrun teams, they are really physical and tonight we controlled them in an exceptional way.

"For two years we've been really good and this year we have some problems. It's normal that the talk starts - I have no problem with that. But the boys showed what they can do."
