Jurgen Klopp Praises Liverpool Youngster Rafael Camacho for Last-Ditch Tackle Against Crystal Palace

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has singled out young right-back Rafael Camacho for a vital injury-time challenge in their 4-3 win over Crystal Palace.

The 18-year-old defender came on as a substitute for Mohamed Salah in the 94th minute after James Milner was shown a second yellow card for a late challenge on Wilfried Zaha, and Camacho wasted no time to make an instant impact on his Premier League debut.

Palace's Max Meyer made it 4-3 in the 95th minute, and as the Eagles chased an equaliser, it was Camacho's timely intervention that kept Zaha at bay in the dying seconds.
