Jurgen Klopp praised the defensive contribution of Trent Alexander-Arnold after a “special” victory edged Liverpool nearer the top four.
Two own goals from Wout Faes wiped out an early Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall effort as the Reds came from behind to beat Leicester City 2-1 in the Premier League on Friday evening.
The result means Klopp’s side have temporarily moved to within two points of the Champions League qualification places after earning a fourth successive top-flight win for the first time this season.
