It's payback time, Klopp tells happy Liverpool fans
Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Manchester United on Thursday was payback for the fans, manager Juergen Klopp said after his side produced a commanding display to down their fiercest rivals in the Europa League.

In a simmering atmosphere, the hosts took a stranglehold on the tie with an authoritative performance that was, according to their German coach, like watching the dominant Liverpool sides of old.
