Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was very pleased for Adam Lallana after the latter scored their equaliser against Manchester United on Sunday.

The Englishman came off the bench to change the game in the Reds' favour, allowing them to get a foothold in midfield that led to their equaliser.

He has struggled with injuries for the past season, but he is now fully fit and ready to fight for a first team position.

Speaking to the club's official website about Lallana, Klopp said: "A wonderful story. A wonderful, wonderful, wonderful story.

"This weekend we had a long talk in general about our situation, and he is completely relaxed and fine and knows how difficult it is at the moment to come into the team.

"But he just trains well and he deserved that; it was 25-30 minutes and he had a proper impact. Then scoring a goal… wow! That was really, really nice.

"Then the heart rate went up a bit because VAR was involved – but he said he knew it would not be offside, so that was all fine. A wonderful story. A wonderful, wonderful story.

"It would have been a better story if somebody would have scored a second one, but now we have to take that."
