Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hailed the efforts of Wataru Endo against Burnley.

The defensive midfielder put in one of his best displays in a Reds shirt since arriving in the summer.

Liverpool had to work hard for a 2-0 win at Burnley, with the Japanese international playing a key role in midfield.

Klopp told Amazon Prime Video after the win: “Wataru Endo, what a game he played. We've created a lot of chances recently and haven't used an awful lot of them but in the end it's about performing. We've played four games in 10 days and you just have to get through it. Now we have five days between now and the next game so it feels like we should go on holiday? No, the boys will have two days off with the family.

"It was a great first goal. Cody Gakpo played really well - there were so many good combinations. A striker needs these situations. This time the ball is in. In general, the game we played was exactly how we wanted to play. In that time they had no solutions but we left the door open and that's how it is.

"[Darwin Nunez] is an incredible finisher but if a striker doesn't score, the whole system is not the same. You question everything. It's not just the outside world, but you question everything. But it was just in the moment and he has it so it's all good."
