​Liverpool boss Klopp labels Selhurst Park as 'wonderful place for football'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for the opposition fans at Selhurst Park as his side made it two wins out of two in the Premier League.

The Reds, who have struggled on this ground in the past, managed to get a hard fought 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

After the game, Klopp was asked about the impact of the home fans. He had the following to say to Liverpool's official website:

"I am not sure, I think we won all of the games [I've managed] here but I know it's really difficult. Really difficult. Wow.

"The crowd is outstanding, and especially with the penalty after 44 minutes it was clear when we came out after half-time the welcome would be pretty loud and not too friendly.

"Crystal Palace wanted to strike back, so that was all clear. This is a wonderful place to play football."
