Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admitted some relief after their Carabao Cup win against Leicester City.

Kasey McAtee had the Foxes 1-0 up before Cody Gakpo, Dominink Szoboszla and Diogo Kota struck for the hosts.

Klopp later said: "It was not the best start, it was actually the opposite. We had big chances in the first half and couldn't believe we didn't score.

"Leicester are a good side and very well set up. Minute by minute we turned it around and it was a good performance. There were so many little stories.

"Dom [Szoboszlai] was a surprise with how fast he has fit in, it was pretty much from the first minute. Top-class player with a lot of quality. He never stops. He learns a lot from the game."

Szoboszlai also stated: "It was very special," he said. "I don't know if it was the best goal, I scored one of my best in the national team and also in Salzburg.

"But one of the best for sure."

Klopp added: "Since the first minute of training he has been impressive. He is a top bloke, a really top guy.

"I don't have to tell him to shoot, he knows better than I - he's really good. That is a really good skill. [It was a] super goal."
