Liverpool boss Klopp: Home cheer for Leicester a shock!

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits home fans celebrating Manchester City's defeat to Leicester City took him by surprise.

Klopp joked that he thought that the Anfield fans' wild reactions to Leicester City's goal against Manchester City were for his Liverpool side's win over Newcastle United.

He said, “No, I thought it was because of us! I'm really naive, I thought that is really nice, thank you very much!

"Then now I heard after the game it was about another result!

“Obviously nobody told our crowd that Tottenham won 5-0.

"It is fine, atmosphere for Boxing Day, people coming from all over, around the world to watch, the atmosphere was really good and exceptional in that moment. But I thought it was because of us."
