Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool Performance 'Could Have Been Better' in Genk Win

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said his team's performance "could have been better" against Genk in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

A brace from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was followed by strikes from Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in the contest, as the Reds eventually ran out 4-1 winners.

While the team scored some fine goals on the night, Genk could have easily made the match more competitive but spurned a number of clear opportunities.

Speaking after the win, Klopp said he wasn't completely pleased with the display from his team, but singled Oxlade-Chamberlain out for praise, per Carl Markham of the Press Association (h/t MailOnline):

"It was absolutely a great moment for him, but I would say with Ox his performance was exactly the same as the performance of the team—the goals were great but all the rest could have been better.
