Jürgen Klopp on Kelleher, Minamino, Carabao Cup drama and more

Jürgen Klopp was delighted by the ‘outstanding’ efforts of his players as they dramatically defeated Leicester City to reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

Having trailed 2-0 and 3-1 in Wednesday night’s tie at Anfield, the Reds forced a penalty shootout through goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, substitute Diogo Jota and then Takumi Minamino in the 95th minute to make it 3-3.

Caoimhin Kelleher made two saves in the spot-kicks as the home side prevailed 5-4 and progressed to a last-four showdown with Arsenal in January.
