Jürgen Klopp told his team to be proud of a 'sensationally good performance' that earned a place in the Emirates FA Cup fourth round with a 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday.
The manager made nine changes to his starting line-up – including Liverpool debuts for Takumi Minamino and Nathaniel Phillips – and then lost James Milner to an early muscle injury, prompting the introduction of Yasser Larouci for his first senior appearance too.
But a resolute, assured display was rewarded when Curtis Jones picked out the top corner with a sublime curler in the second half that was enough to defeat the Blues.
