'Liverpool lacked energy against Atalanta' - Westerveld

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Sander Westerveld says Jurgen Klopp's team never looked like overturning the 3-0 aggregate score at Atalanta in their Europa League quarter-final despite Mohamed Salah's early penalty giving them a foothold in the tie.

"It was a very disappointing game yesterday and we did have hope," he said on BBC Radio 5 Live.

"We had done it before with losing 3-0 away at Barcelona and then winning 4-0 at home. It all looked good with that early penalty and the big chance with Mo and it could have been 2-0 by half-time.
