Liverpool boss Klopp impressed with Kabak against Leipzig

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with recent signing Ozan Kabak.

The central defender put in an assured display as the Reds won 2-0 against RB Leipzig in their first leg of the round of 16 clash in the Champions League.

Kabak recovered from a poor display against Leicester City in the Premier League at the weekend.

Klopp told reporters post-game: "After such a long time with Schalke, he was new to that and I think his attitude was good.

"Very happy with his performance.

"And Hendo can play the position perfectly.

"It's not that Leipzig didn't have a chance, Ali also had to intervene in two or three things, but that's normal.

"Overall, I can say I'm very pleased with the whole performance."
