Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was delighted to secure an "important" win over AC Milan in their opening Champions League group stage match.
The Reds fought back from 2-1 down to win 3-2 at Anfield on Wednesday.
"We started incredibly well. We played a super, super game," Klopp said. "An intense game but football wise as well.
"We got punished for it in the last few minutes of the first-half but it started earlier. We got carried away by our own football. We didn't keep it simple anymore, offensively and defensively we were not organised anymore.
"When we are organised, Fabinho is incredible and he can pick up all the challenges we need him for. When the spaces are too big even he cannot solve it anymore. They played inbetween and scored two goals.
"But it did not feel like we cannot come back. It was clear that we had to immediately get back to how we started and then we scored wonderful goals, to be honest. Both were incredible. It is deserved but we had 10 minutes where Milan nearly changed the whole tie.
Klopp also commented on Liverpool's group, which features Atletico Madrid and Porto as well as Milan.
The German added: "That is our pick from pot four. AC Milan in a really good moment.
"It is a tough group. That is why it is important we won this game. It does not decide anything but it gave us a winning start."
