Jürgen Klopp is accustomed to his seasons going down to the wire but the identity of the men who have left Liverpool on the cusp of Champions League qualification may have surprised even him. First Alisson at West Bromwich Albion, now Nat Phillips at Burnley; the unlikeliest influences are behind the late rescue act.
Phillips headed home his first Liverpool goal and was at the forefront of a valuable clean sheet as Klopp’s side secured another precious victory in their bid for a top four finish. The defeat of Sean Dyche’s team, commenced by Roberto Firmino and finished by substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, elevated Liverpool above Leicester in the race for Champions League football and improved their goal difference over Brendan Rodgers’ team to plus four. One more win, over Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace in the former Liverpool manager’s last top flight game, and redemption will be found on the final day at Anfield.
