How encouraging for Jurgen Klopp to witness such a mature performance from his team. Milner, the senior citizen at 33, was the man who set them on their way – albeit with plenty of help from MK Dons goalkeeper Moore – but while he shone, and while there were encouraging minutes for the likes of Joe Gomez, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, it was the young guns who caught the eye most.
