Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had positive words for Super Eagles and Nottingham Forest match winner Taiwo Awoniyi after Saturday's defeat, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Nigerian struck against his former club for the 1-0 win and his second goal of the season since joining the newly-promoted Premier League team from Union Berlin in the summer.

Klopp said, "He had a sensational development. He has arrived where he belongs and I am happy for him, but not today so much."

On the match, he added: "We played against a deep defending side. We didn't train in this formation one second because Jones was not in the plans. He was close and we can see he is now fit which is great, but he didn't play this position before.

"Then Thiago gets an infection overnight and is out and you have to make a decision. Can Henderson start again? I was concerned about the medical department for not too long so we changed like this. It was clear we had to get used to it. We didn't hit the target and the goalie made a sensational save but that's it now and we cannot change it."
