Jurgen Klopp has lavished praise on Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana for his contribution in the win against Burnley. The Reds midfielder played a crucial role in the match against the Clarets as they won the match by 4-2 to keep the pressure on Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title.

Speaking to the media after the match, the Liverpool gaffer said, “I’m really happy for him, he had a good performance. It’s not often that we have a week of training to prepare for a game and in these sessions, players can show up and he showed up.”

He added, “He deserved that spot today – it’s not about who we bought in the summer or a summer ago. Adam was here when I came here and he’s an important part of the squad. I think he had that best time with me when he played in that position [just off the striker] but he has had a lot of injuries. He gives us creativity, he gives you the surprising passes, chipping balls through and we know he can do a lot more than he did today but for a first game that was quite impressive.”
