Jurgen Klopp lauds reaction Liverpool 'needed to show' in wake of Brighton humbling

Jurgen Klopp hailed Liverpool's powers of recovery after they edged past Wolves in the FA Cup.

Harvey Elliott's first-half stunner booked a fourth-round trip to Brighton as the holders kept their defence alive with a 1-0 win.

The Reds were demolished 3-0 at the Amex in the Premier League on Saturday - with Klopp calling it the worst performance of his managerial career - but believes his side responded at Molineux.

"Everybody got that reaction, it was the reaction we needed to show," he said after the third-round replay.

"The game was completely different to last time. I'm really happy with that. All the individual performances were good.

"It was good and I said to the boys after the game that's how it feels when you play well and win. That's why we are quite happy.

"It was a good game, we only get into the next round but we wanted to go to the next round, it was an important sign that these things are possible.

"There's a massive game coming up at the weekend (against Chelsea), if we had played another game like the last one I'm not sure what people would have thought before they arrived at the stadium.

"We were compact, together and we had good challenges. We played really good football and scored an exceptional goal. Harvey saw something not a lot of people have seen. I wouldn't have expected a shot in that moment."

Following a brief floodlight failure in the opening seconds, Liverpool settled and Elliott won it after 13 minutes.

Rayan Ait-Nouri's shot had been blocked and the visitors quickly moved up the pitch, with Thiago Alcantara finding Elliott inside his own half.

The England Under-21 star ran unopposed before catching Jose Sa out of position and beat the scrambling goalkeeper from 25 yards.
