Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could not hide his praise for Arsenal youngster Gabriel Martinelli.

The Reds claimed an impressive 2-0 win in the Carabao Cup semi final second leg at the Emirates Stadium, going through 2-0 on aggregate.

As Liverpool celebrated their success and looked forward to a final against Chelsea, Klopp took a moment to praise 20-year-old Martinelli for his display in the contest on Thursday.

"Martinelli by the way, everybody should remember that name," Klopp said.

"He's an outstanding player."

Martinelli has quietly become a regular for Mikel Arteta over the past few months.
