Match report: Liverpool 2-1 Norwich City
FA Cup: Liverpool’s pursuit of what Jürgen Klopp insists is an unlikely quadruple goes on, though progress into the FA Cup quarter-finals was more complicated than it should have been. Andy Hunter reports ...
Jurgen Klopp: “With 10 changes you need a little time to adapt but after 15 minutes or so we calmed the game down, scored really good goals, we controlled the game when we played easy passes and looked really good,” the Liverpool manager tells ITV Sport.
“In the second half we couldn’t score the third goal and they have their situation and that can change the game completely. It didn’t. We had to fight to get it over the line but that’s absolutely fine.”
Klopp on Minamino’s two goals: “He’s an incredible player,” he says. “That’s the best game he’s had for us. He played a super game, was a constant threat, kept all the balls. I’m really happy for him. Without him we wouldn’t be in the quarter-finals. Without him we wouldn’t have been in the final of the Carabao Cup.”
