Jurgen Klopp hailed Ryan Gravenberch's "obvious talent" as the midfielder opened his Liverpool account in the 2-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise.

Gravenberch capitalised on an error from goalkeeper Anthony Moris, who fumbled Trent Alexander-Arnold's shot to present a tap-in for the 21-year-old a minute before half-time. 

And Klopp has a lot of praise for the former Bayern Munich man after the game, saying: "It is really obvious how good he is, the talent he is.

"He is enjoying the situation and it is very important that he has the confidence back, that is really good to see. 

"We thought he might be able to play 90 [minutes], we wanted to give him 90 but we saw he dropped a bit so that's why we took him off.

"[I liked] the start and the result. The goals, the chances we created. What I didn't like is we lost rhythm after 25 minutes.

"It's very difficult to keep rhythm in games like this but it's important. We should have scored earlier but got the second in stoppage time. 

Diogo Jota responded to his controversial sending off at Tottenham on Sunday with his fourth goal of the season and he was another player to receive praise from his boss.

Klopp added: "How should he deal with it? I knew it would be difficult.

"That [controversial defeat to Tottenham] is long ago and we are over that and Diogo is over it as well. We are not children.

"From a focus point of view, it was not a problem to focus on the game, in the game it was a problem to keep being focused because that was how it looked a little bit.

"We should use our chances better more often if we want to be successful in competitions but I'm not angry or concerned, it's just how it is.

"We know we have to do better. It was a mature professional performance, we got the result we wanted but know we can do better."
