Jurgen Klopp: My first win at Liverpool definitely 'feels better than a draw'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was delighted with his first win in charge at Anfield, saying that it "feels better than a draw".

The German's first three matches in charge of the Reds had all ended in stalemates with just two goals scored.

But it was fourth time lucky for Klopp, who took his side into the quarter-finals of the League Cup with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth, Nathaniel Clyne scoring his first goal since moving from Southampton.

"My first win feels better than a draw! I'm really satisfied because this team had never played together and the young players did really well," said Klopp after the match.

"We had many chances against a side which played with nearly their first team. We were dominant, played football and got the win we deserved.

"It was very important to win because we decided to go with a new team. To win is always good for the feeling of the whole team."

Liverpool travel to Southampton in the next round but with Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are crashing out this week, will fancy themselves - along with Manchester City - as among the favourites to lift the trophy.
