Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has opened up about his decision to substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at half-time in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.
The Reds edged out Chelsea, winning 5-4 on penalties after the game had ended 2-2. Olivier Giroud gave the Blues the lead, leaving Liverpool trailing going into the break. Klopp acted fast and brought on Roberto Firmino at the interval, replacing Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The substitution ultimately paid dividends, with Firmino setting up Sadio Mane for the equaliser. The Brazilian put in a strong performance, bringing another dimension to Liverpool's attack and making them more of a threat.
