After Lallana played an integral role in the win over Hull, Jürgen Klopp was asked for his assessment of the England international's form and insisted it is merely a consequence of his hard work.

“Since I’ve been here, you saw [his development],” the manager commented.

“It’s not always about performing like this, it’s about working attitude, it’s about being involved in all the team things, in all the sessions.

“He likes to train, he likes to work. From the first day he was like this. This is now only the credit he takes from the work he did. All good in the moment.”
