However, Klopp’s men fought back through Takumi Minamino’s first-half strike before Joel Matip’s header midway through the second half turned the game around.

Klopp made NINE changes to the side that beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final at the weekend, with Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson and Luis Diaz on the bench.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk didn’t feature due to injury.

However, Liverpool’s makeshift side did the job to ensure a single point would separate them from leaders Man City before the final day of the league season.
