Klopp hails Liverpool match-winner Ibe

Jordon Ibe's first Liverpool goal steered the Merseyside club to a 1-0 victory at Rubin Kazan in the Europa League.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp heaped praise on promising midfielder Jordon Ibe after the teenager emerged the unlikely hero Thursday.

Ibe scored his first Liverpool goal seven minutes into the second half to help the visitors beat Rubin Kazan 1-0 in Europa League action, a victory that could prove crucial in the battle to progress from Group B.

Firmino flicked a pass into the path of the 19-year-old, who withstood two opponents and placed a shot in off the inside of the post as Liverpool won in the competition for the first time this season.
