Liverpool boss Klopp happy with Gravenberch, Endo for victory over Toulouse

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was pleased with his players for their 5-1 rout of Europa League opponents Toulouse.

Diogo Jota, Ryan Gravenberch, Wataruu Endo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah were all on the scoresheet for the win.

Klopp said: "You saw in the moments where it was difficult. Most of the time we were in complete control. We made good goals, nobody got hurt, perfect night. We could bring the kids on."

On Gravenberch, he said: "He's a good player. I'm so happy for him that he starts really enjoying his football again. His first touch is incredible, his acceleration with the ball. He's not even half way there. The good thing is that he has a lot of things to improve."

Of Wataru Endo's goal, Klopp also state: "He was really strong. He scored incredible goals for Stuttgart. He played a really good game, he broke the lines with his passing. A nice next step for him."

He added: "It was more that we thought the boys really needed that now. I can tell them how much I like them, but then from time to time, we have to show it. In good moments, you can give the boys opportunities. They all took it. Ben Doak would have had minutes for sure tonight. Bobby Clark is coming back from injury. We have a lot of good boys and we trust them."
