Klopp hails Liverpool academy after win over Shrewsbury

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has praised the club's academy after the FA Cup third-round win over Shrewsbury Town.

Youngsters Kaide Gordon, Elijah Dixon-Bonner, Max Woltman, Connor Bradley and Tyler Morton all started the match.

"I like the way we responded and the crowd responded after they scored," Klopp told reporters after the game.

"It was a brilliant goal from Kaide Gordon. He was really calm and composed. His main strength is his finishing.

"All credit to our Academy that they produce these boys but we had no other line-up available to us. We had five young players out there. They all did well. We knew we could play better football and we did second half."
