Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits Leicester City's storming comeback stunned his players.

The Foxes fired home three goals in quick succession to beat the Reds 3-1 on Saturday.

Klopp later said: "It doesn't happen a lot, but it can happen. We had it the other way around as well; you can change a game in that situation. As I said, the two goals we conceded obviously had a massive impact and for human beings that's normal, but for us we don't accept that – we have to react differently. When you concede that goal and then the next situation is an easy one…

"With the first goal Leicester scored, obviously they had like a mood lift because until then Leicester were not in the game, really – they couldn't play their game for a second. But then they get this present and then we make another present and they are 2-1 up and then the third one.

"That's what I don't like. No, it doesn't happen a lot, so I didn't experience it a lot, but it can happen and has happened before."
