Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp praised Trent Alexander-Arnold after victory at Leeds.

Alexander-Arnold again impressed in his new 'inside-fullback' role for the 6-1 triumph.

Klopp said: "He won the ball back for the first goal from that position as well, stepping really out there - it was good. Yeah, impressive. I think also the highlight was then the last pass [his assist for Nunez], but he had a few more from that position. Wherever Trent is [on the pitch] he can be decisive with his passes, he was very often for us, that's how it is, tonight was a good game, you could see that he enjoyed it."

Klopp was also happy with Luis Diaz's playing return.

He added: "Yeah, super-important, so Luis is back. He's now lacking rhythm, which is normal, [and] a bit of sharpness, but that's normal as well. In training sessions you cannot get there to the final degree of sharpness, so we now try to just help him [get there] step by step back really into the team [and] give him minutes.

"It's just nice to see him play, to be honest. We missed him so long, so it's just nice to see him being involved again."
