Jurgen Klopp compared Liverpool’s second-half onslaught against Luton with their famous win over Barcelona at Anfield in 2019, after his side came from behind to blow Luton apart with four second-half goals and go four points clear at the top of the Premier League.
‘Tonight is one of those nights where it is difficult to stop talking. I am so happy. Before the game nobody knew how the boys would take on the challenge,’ said Klopp.
With nine senior players unavailable due to injury and a bench with five players aged 19 or under, Klopp named Liverpool’s youngest starting eleven for a Premier League game since February 2018 and subsequently drew comparisons with that Champions League semi-final night, where his side faced a similar injury crisis.
