Jurgen Klopp dismissed the idea that Takumi Minamino's match-winning performance against Norwich City was fuelled by the anger of missing out on the Carabao Cup final squad.
The Japan international responded to being omitted for Sunday's penalty shootout win over Chelsea at Wembley by scoring both goals in the 2-1 victory over the Canaries in the FA Cup at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Klopp admitted it was likely a disappointing afternoon for Minamino at the weekend when he was left out for the showpiece at Wembley, but the Reds boss denied the versatile forward reacted negatively to the situation.
