Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp reacts to Naby Keita’s performance against Porto

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is impressed by Naby Keita's performance as Liverpool cruised to a 2-0 win over Porto in the first leg of their Uefa Champions League quarter-final encounter.

After breaking his duck for the Merseyside outfit against Southampton last Friday, Keita earned his place in the Reds’ starting XI for his 31st appearance in all competitions on Tuesday night.

The former RB Leipzig midfielder opened the scoring in the fifth minute after his shot deflected off Oliver Torres before Roberto Firmino sealed the win 21 minutes later.
