'An incredible game!' - Klopp praises centre-backs Phillips and Kabak for standout effort against Leipzig

Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for centre-backs Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak after the pair led the way in Liverpool's 2-0 Champions League win over RB Leipzig.

Phillips put in a man of the match-level performance in the victory, which pushed Liverpool into the quarter-finals, while Kabak's transition to life at Anfield continued with a strong outing on Wednesday in Budapest.

With Liverpool still struggling in the league, Wednesday's effort will go a long way towards restoring the Reds' confidence, with Klopp giving the credit to his central defenders.
