Klopp tells Liverpool players: Run or I'll kill you

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed he shouted "run or I will kill you" at his players towards the end of Monday night's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

The Reds were clinging onto a one-goal advantage up until Sadio Mane sealed victory two minutes into stoppage time.

Klopp painted a frantic figure before Mane's goal, and speaking after the game, the German told Sky Sports exactly how he motivated his players.

He said: "In these moments the fuel is really low and maybe the players need a bit of help from an angry manager - 'run or I will kill you' - and they did that with a fantastic counter attack."
