Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was left delighted with the home support at Anfield in the 3-0 FA Cup win over Exeter City on Wednesday night.

The German accepted that he was amazed to see the crowd's support given the circumstances of the third round replay.

Following the game, he said: "First of all, I really have to say thank-you to the crowd because I could not have imagined tonight would be so loud, in a rematch against a League Two team with the information that we would play with young players.

"It was a special atmosphere, it was great and it was a really enjoyable night for football.

"The lads enjoyed it, I could see that, and I spoke to them after the game. Everybody could see it.

"They worked hard, created chances and scored goals, wonderful goals. They made mistakes and reacted in the right way to mistakes. They fought against an opponent and I have to say, my first impression of League Two football – and I know their position in the table is not too good – is it seems to be a good league!

"They had a lot of good players in their team. In the first half, they were really experienced; it was very experienced against very young. So it was really hard work for the boys and I was pleased with the performance. A few weeks ago I could not have imagined I would enjoy a rematch in the FA Cup – now I did.

"Thanks FA Cup!"
