Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was pleased seeing Nat Phillips score in victory over Burnley.

Phillips went into the game having been told by Klopp to study the heading technique of goalkeeper Alisson for Sunday's winner at West Brom.

The manager told talkSPORT: "We had a long talk last week and we showed him Alisson's goal again.

“Because he could've had a header as well but he closed his eyes too early.

“He's one of the best headers of the ball in the league defensively, it's incredible what he's doing there. But offensively, he used to close his eyes too early.

“We will have to check it, but he told me open eyes [this time]."
