Jurgen Klopp gave Steve Cooper a 'massive compliment' as he praised Nottingham Forest for their performance against Liverpool.
The Reds were beaten 1-0 in the quarter-finals at the City Ground by Diogo Jota's late goal after Philip Zinckernagel missed a big chance for the hosts. Forest had further chances for Ryan Yates and Cafu, but Liverpool made it through to a semi-final against Manchester City next month.
After the game, Klopp told ITV Sport he felt Forest had given his side, which included Allison, Virgil van Dijk and Jota, a serious test as he made a quadruple substitution.
