Jürgen Klopp said he needed to keep his emotions in check during “a wonderful afternoon” at Anfield where Liverpool fans saluted and his team eased into the FA Cup fifth round with a 5‑2 rout of Norwich.
Klopp’s name reverberated around Anfield at the start and finish of Liverpool’s first game since the shock news that their legendary manager is leaving at the end of the season. The German had asked fans not to sing “Jürgen is a red” and back the team’s continued pursuit of four trophies instead. He forgave the singing, but admitted it had been an emotional occasion.
