Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp felt Wataru Endo made the difference for their win against Brentford.

The Reds won 3-0, with Klopp stating later that Endo was key for the win.

He said, "More than 20 years ago when I started my career, I wanted to create a team that nobody wants to play against and we faced that team today.

"It's crazy! This spell where they had six corners in a row I thought 'oh god.' But we defended with so much passion in the moment. The goals we scored were fantastic.

"Top goals, top performances. Darwin Nunez's work rate for example was second to none. The boys were there for second balls. It was a difficult game against a top opponent so I'm really happy with the performance and the result.

"The squad is a really good squad. The kids who were on the bench today enjoyed it a lot. James McConnell came on and obviously he really enjoyed it too! A good day.

"Wataru Endo's performance was top. He saved our lives in many moments and was super disciplined. So many good moments. The wind made life difficult and they pressed so there were tricky moments but he was really good.

"Actually, [the Man City game is] not what I'm thinking about. These boys who played today need recovery, I hope they get that before games with their countries and hopefully they come back healthy then we can try [against Manchester City]. It's about reacting [to defeats] and the reaction today was great."
