Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes that Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy was the difference between the two sides at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night.

The 29-year-old scored a brace to help the Foxes inflict a 2-0 defeat on the Reds with his first a goal of beauty when he volleyed home a bouncing ball from 25 yards.

Klopp also pointed out his players' inability to make the right choice when they advanced into their own attacking area.

Klopp said: "[Vardy] made the difference tonight. I think our plan was good, it was obviously good.

"We forced ourselves to play, we knew about their kind of defending; sometimes they had higher pressing and things like this. Then you can, and have to, play over the wings.

"We had time, we had the ball, we had opportunities in the box, but everybody could see we didn't make the right decision often enough.

"The longer the game was, we didn't get cooler and the decisions didn't get better. That's the problem. We had the ball in their box, we didn't shoot and one second later, Vardy shot from 35 yards and the ball was in. That says most about the game.

"I don't feel too good in this moment, because I know we lost and we have to accept it, absolutely no problem. But, I think, with a few things we would have done differently today, we could have won this game.

"If you can win a game, you should do it. We didn't. So I need a few minutes to cool down."
