Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed the impact of Nathaniel Clyne and two-goal Xherdan Shaqiri after victory over Manchester United.

Shaqiri came off the bench to score twice in the 3-1 win.

Klopp said, "They all made a difference. You don't have to score to make a difference, but of course it helps massively – especially if you are an offensive player. Shaq is such a wonderfully skilled boy that he has to have influence, that's important. We can bring him in a half-space and if he passes the ball back to the guy who passed him the ball, it doesn't make too much sense.

"He has to turn, he has to speed up, he has to change the situation, pass in behind and all that stuff. He did it. We were all a bit afraid that Clyney would shoot in the moment Shaq came! If Clyney would have scored tonight it would have been a real celebration! Being then in the finishing moments in the box, or around at least, that helps massively.

"You could see the game felt good for the boys. We spoke last week, the Napoli game away was never our game – the whole 90 minutes, we were never in the game. We tried to change things but never got the momentum back. Tonight, again, we had quieter moments but we never lost the momentum or the sense we could get it back and play again."
