Liverpool news: ‘The second goal felt like Christmas’ - Jurgen Klopp
TIS the season to be jolly for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, after he oversaw the Reds’ 3-0 win against Huddersfield.

The jubilant German also revealed that he will be going out for a drink to celebrate the club’s first league win in four games.
Klopp had to endure a frustrating goalless first half, where Mohamed Salah missed a 40th-minute penalty kick.
But Daniel Sturridge opened the scoring with an intricate lob after the break.
Roberto Firmino then eased the Anfield nerves by heading home James Milner’s corner - a joyous moment for Klopp.
"The first goal, we forced the situation between Firmino and Daniel but the second goal felt like Christmas, we had more chances,” Klopp said.

"It is a big relief, the pressure was there, there is no doubt about that. The people didn't like the first half too much.
“We scored three goals, got three points and a clean sheet - very very important.”
Klopp earned bragging rights over his best-mate and Huddersfield boss David Wagner with the victory.
And he said he will be celebrating with a drink after putting last weekend’s Tottenham defeat behind them.

"I will see David after, we will probably have a little drink yes,” Klopp added.
"Spurs was the worst game we have played in the season so far, we could not ignore it but we had to work with it.
"We were a little bit stiff today, they had a lot of players behind the ball, it was not too difficult to fix it at half-time.”
