Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp heaped praise on midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.

The Argentine came up against his old club Brighton at Anfield on Sunday in the Premier League.

The Reds won the clash 2-1, with Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz giving them all the points.

On Mac Allister, Klopp stated: “I saw a lot of special performances today. Yes, Macca was incredible – absolutely incredible – but when you have that kind of talent, when you have that kind of character, then you should show it. It's Macca, he can do that – so do it.

“That's Conor [Bradley], that's [Jarell] Quansah, that's Wataru, that's Dom… they are that good. That's Joe Gomez. The boys are good, so show it. Yes, I am the biggest fan of these boys but I stopped being surprised if they really perform on the highest level because it is just what I want them to do and then when they do it it's fine.

“If they cannot do it then I think about why and how we could help, but when they do it I am not as surprised as others maybe, I am just happy the more often they can do it. Great game, so many moments and then Caoimh [Kelleher] puts the ball out of the corner.

“I saw that pretty well and I didn't expect the hand coming. There he was and it was really cool. As I said, difficult game, good performance, fantastic result."
