But Rhian Brewster rescued the Premier League champions with a double of his own within the last 20 minutes of play.

Speaking to the club's website, Klopp said: "It obviously didn't look really good for big parts of the game, I have to admit that.

"I should or could have known because I know obviously what we did in training. We had a really good camp, the sessions looked really good, boys were sharp and now today it was obviously the day where we had heavy legs.

"Then we played too complicated, gave the wrong people in the wrong moment the wrong ball. I should have known as well because being on the way home, having a game – I don't think it ever worked for me in my whole career as a manager!

"I wanted to have problems today, not exactly the problems we had, but I wanted to have problems that we fight against. Then when the kids came on, when Millie was on, we didn't think about the problems we had.

"We just had to find a few solutions. We scored the two goals, super goals from Rhian. The second one was brilliant from him, the first one was brilliant set-up from Taki and Millie.

"We made it too easy for the two goals they scored, they were of course very easy and gave the game a direction – they were now confident and defended deep and stuff like this. It's normal. How I said, I didn't like the game too much but we can use it anyway."
