'He couldn't kick the ball far as wanted' - Klopp blames cold for Adrian mistake

Jurgen Klopp blamed the freezing temperatures at Anfield today for the mistake that left Liverpool sweating on a 2-1 win over Brighton.

Klopp said; ’We brought on a frozen goalkeeper. Imagine you go on there with shorts and a really thin shirt and some gloves which are not made for keeping you warm.

‘Some people let the free kick happen like that. You look a little bit silly in that moment but you have to accept that.

'Adrian especially helped us a lot with two good saves and crosses he caught but with his cold feet he couldn’t kick the ball as far as he wanted. It kept it a bit interesting.

'I am very happy about the effort of the boys and proud about the desire they showed. The red card made it a really special win.’
