Klopp says Liverpool ‘over’ Spurs defeat after Europa League win
Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool are “over” their defeat to Tottenham after Ryan Gravenberch scored his first goal for the club in a 2-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise at Anfield in the Europa League.
Gravenberch capitalised on an error from Union goalkeeper Anthony Moris to finish from close-range just before the break after Darwin Nunez missed a sitter. Diogo Jota sealed the win off the bench in stoppage-time as Liverpool put Saturday’s VAR controversy behind them.
Asked about Jota’s response to being red carded on the weekend, Klopp said: “How should he deal with it? I knew it would be difficult. That [game] is long ago and we are over that and Diogo is over it as well. We are not children.”
Liverpool got through the game against the Belgian league leaders despite a sub-par performance at Anfield and now sit atop Group E after taking maximum points from their first two games. French side Toulouse are second on four points with Union and LASK Linz behind them.
