Liverpool boss Klopp happy with goalscorer Sturridge: He's in great shape

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is happy Daniel Sturridge struck again in their 2-2 draw with Newcastle United.

Sturridge's goal was his 11th of the season so far – and his fourth in his last five appearances.

Klopp admitted he's delighted with the form of the striker, describing his physical condition as the best it's been since he arrived at the club.

The boss said: “He is in the best shape for a few months – I don't know for how long, but 90 minutes is no real problem and that's good. You cannot see a difference between the first 60 and the last 30.

“For us, it's very, very important. It was a wonderful goal very early in the game. It was not a real chance to be honest, but he made the best of it. It was good."
