Jurgen Klopp salutes his 'Ferraris in the garage' as race goes to final lap

Jurgen Klopp hailed his "Ferraris in the garage" after much-changed Liverpool took the Premier League title race to the final day of the season by coming from behind to beat Southampton 2-1.

Reds boss Klopp opted to make nine changes at St Mary's following Saturday's gruelling FA Cup final win over Chelsea and was without a host of star names, including Sadio Mane and injured duo Virgil Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

"Making nine changes, if it hadn't worked out it would have been 1,000 per cent my responsibility," said Klopp.

"Now it worked out and it's 1,000% the boys' responsibility because I can ask for a lot, the boys have to do it and I thought they did it exceptionally well.

"I am so happy about the performance. It was a bit touching, honestly. You think: 'Wow, these boys.' It is like having Ferraris in the garage.

"You let them out and they do it like this. Harvey (Elliott), I'm not sure the last time he played, Curtis (Jones) no rhythm, he has only played from time to time, Takumi Minamino, it is a crime he is not playing more often.

"(Alex) Oxlade-Chamberlain did not even play and he is in outstanding shape. It is really tough for the boys sometimes. Whatever happens this year happens because of this group. They are exceptional and they have showed that again."

Having already lifted the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, Klopp will hope
