Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was pleased with fullbacks Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kostas Tsimikas for victory over Burnley.

The Reds saw off Burnley 2-0 on Saturday.

Klopp said, "Both full-backs had a good game. Both spectacular, if you want, with two nice [assists] – Kostas with the cross and Trent with the little cheeky curve ball or whatever for Sadio. It was a good game. I think everybody thinks both full-backs played a good game and in this situation that means they were defensively really good as well in a really difficult game from a defensive point of view.

"In football, usually you have a plan, you have an idea, you want to win the ball here or there, against Burnley there is no winning the ball here or there. It is only around the centre-halves where you have to pick the ball up and we have to protect constantly like crazy. I cannot remember a high-press situation, it is just not possible, at least it was not possible today.

"But the full-backs were really good, which helped us to win the game."
