Liverpool boss Klopp: Firmino gave us all-clear Tuesday morning

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed Roberto Firmino's commitment after their 3-2 Champions League win against PSG.

Firmino thrashed in a 90th minute drive that secured the triump in their opening Champions League game and he celebrated by mimicking an eye-patch.

Klopp said: "There was no chance yesterday (Monday). Absolutely no chance the day before (Sunday). But he came this morning (Tuesday), he came in and said 'I'm fine. I can open my eye again'. It was good!"

Man-of-the-Match James Milner said: "It was very important. It would have been very disappointing (not to win). It shows the character of this side to go again. I can't say enough good things about Bobby to come off the bench after his injury."
