Jurgen Klopp Backs Loris Karius After Error in Liverpool vs. Tranmere Rovers

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp played down Loris Karius' mistake during the Reds' 3-2 victory over Tranmere Rovers in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday, suggesting it is something to learn from.

The German goalkeeper spilled Oliver Norburn's free-kick in the 72nd minute, and Jonny Smith pounced to net Tranmere's opener.

It was a bad mistake and reminded those in attendance of the errors he made in the UEFA Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid back in May, but Klopp pointed out a mix-up between Pedro Chirivella and James Milner also led to Tranmere's second goal from Amadou Soukouna, per LiverpoolFC.
