'A nice touch' - Klopp praised by Lincoln City boss after Liverpool thrashing

The German coach showed his opposite number plenty of respect despite the lopsided scoreline

Lincoln City manager Michael Appleton has praised Jurgen Klopp for his post-match conduct after Liverpool claimed a 7-2 win against the League One club on Thursday in the Carabao Cup.

Despite fielding an experimental side, the Reds proved far too strong and were leading 5-0 after just 45 minutes.

Appleton's team proved tougher opposition in the second half as they struck twice themselves, but did also concede another two goals.
