Liverpool on the mind? Kovac claims Bayern may have been overlooking Augsburg

Niko Kovac felt his Bayern Munich side had an eye on an impending trip to Liverpool in their win against Augsburg, but understands their distraction.

Bayern twice had to come from behind at Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Friday, having gone behind after just 13 seconds to a Leon Goretzka own goal.

Kingsley Coman scored two equalisers, although the winger could not complete the game due to an ankle injury, and set up David Alaba for the winner.
