Alisson hails 'maestro' Jurgen Klopp for tactical tinkering that inspired victory at Atletico Madrid... as the Liverpool boss defends Naby Keita after half-time hooking

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker praised Jurgen Klopp for being a 'maestro' in the dressing room but the Liverpool manager admits he probably got his team selection wrong against Atletico Madrid.

The Reds won an enthralling encounter in the Wanda Metropolitano 3-2 to make it three wins from three and take a five-point lead in their Champions League group.

It was not without its mishaps, however, as they squandered a 2-0 lead before half-time with momentum switching to the hosts.
