Jürgen Klopp expressed his delight at the perseverance of his Liverpool team and impact from the substitutes' bench following Saturday's win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Divock Origi scored an injury-time goal at Molineux to give the Reds a 1-0 victory, having been introduced to the Premier League encounter after 68 minutes.

Having overcome the elements, a tough opponent and missed opportunities, Klopp reserved special praise for his players after the final whistle as they turned one point into three in dramatic fashion.

"Absolutely outstanding, to be honest," the boss told Liverpoolfc.com. "So the long balls we needed were not really an option because of the wind. So we need precise long balls, which make no sense.

"The long balls Wolves needed were just balls in behind the last line, so they could just kick them and have a look if Traore can bring the body in between himself and the defender. But we defended these situations incredibly well, I have to say.

"Then with the ball, obviously when you miss these sitters pretty much, of course you can get a bit frustrated, that's normal, you lose the positivity. But I loved the way we just try to go on and go on.

"It helped a lot, of course, that we could make changes, because Ox is in an outstanding moment, you could see that. He came on, is really calm with the ball. And Div as well, he came on and was an immediate threat.

"That's really helpful that we can make these kind of changes in these moments. So, a great night. As far as I know, nobody is injured, which is very helpful as well. Let's carry on."
