Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool let a three-goal lead slip to draw 3-3 with Sevilla on Tuesday night because they "stopped playing football" in the second half.

Liverpool missed out of the chance to secure their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League after a second-half capitulation at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

Klopp's side went into half-time 3-0 up courtesy of two goals from Roberto Firmino and one from Sadio Mane before Sevilla fought back after the restart.

Wassam Ben Yedder netted twice -- the second goal from the penalty spot after an Alberto Moreno foul -- before Guido Pizarro scored deep into injury time as Liverpool failed to clear a corner kick.
