Jurgen Klopp drools over Liverpool defender Nathaniel Phillips

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has showered heaps of praise on defender Nathaniel Phillips for his outstanding performance in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The Reds returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over RB Leipzig in the second leg, to win 4-0 on aggregate and move into the quarter-finals of the competition.

The 23-year-old, who wasn’t registered for the group stages, put in a massive performance against the German outfit.

Partnering alongside Ozan Kabak, it was a superb shift from Phillips, and Klopp was full of praise for him after the match.
