Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has thrown praise in the direction of Brighton this weekend.

The German was hugely effusive about the Albion and their manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Klopp stated that how Brighton beat Wolves was one of the best performances he has ever seen in football.

He told the BBC of Brighton's 6-0 win: “We have to win football games to qualify for Europe at all, it is not given.

“Brighton played one of the best football games this weekend that I have ever seen in my life, I have to say."

He added: “Mr De Zerbi, wow! That was incredible.

“They are behind us with two games in hand or whatever.

“Aston Villa? What a development.

“We have to worry about them. If we can keep them behind us, that would be already a success."
