Jurgen Klopp has revealed what instructions he gave Ben Doak before handing the 16-year-old his Liverpool debut.
The winger joined the Reds from Celtic in the summer and, having impressed in the club’s youth ranks this season, was handed a maiden senior call-up for Liverpool’s League Cup third round clash with Derby County.
A youthful Reds side needed penalties to overcome the Rams following a 0-0 draw as they booked their place in Thursday’s fourth round draw. And Klopp was pleased to see Doak grab his opportunity with an eye-catching debut off the bench after replacing Fabio Carvalho in the 74th minute at Anfield.
