Jürgen Klopp acknowledged his disappointment at Liverpool’s Carabao Cup exit to Leicester City on Tuesday night, admitting defensive errors cost his side at the King Power Stadium.
After a dominant first-half showing in which the Reds created several good goalscoring opportunities, the Foxes took the lead just past the hour mark via Shinji Okazaki after a cleared corner was hoisted back into the visitors’ area and found its way to the substitute.
Islam Slimani then made sure of victory for Leicester with his stunning 78th-minute strike, breaking forward from a deep throw in and driving into the top corner to end Liverpool’s hopes of progression in the tournament.
