Jurgen Klopp praised the impact of Dominik Szoboszlai at Anfield after the summer signing came off the bench to fire Liverpool into the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

Liverpool had to come from behind to beat Championship leaders Leicester 3-1 after Kasey McAteer silenced Anfield just three minutes in.<\/p>\n

But after Cody Gakpo equalised early in the second half, Szoboszlai struck an unstoppable shot in the 70th minute, moments after coming on, with Diogo Jota wrapping it up with a late goal of his own.<\/p>\n

Szoboszlai\u2019s rocket from the edge of the D was his second goal since his \u00a360million summer switch from RB Leipzig and another marker into the impressive start the Hungarian has made on Merseyside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have to tell him to shoot, he knows that better than me,\u201d Klopp said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has a pretty good skill. The next (shot) he had which was slightly over was another grenade as well. It was a super goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ease with which Szoboszlai has made himself at home at Anfield has been key to the strong start Liverpool, second in the Premier League, have made in all competitions as they look to have solved many of the midfield problems that dogged them last season.<\/p>\n

Asked if Szoboszlai had settled quicker than expected, Klopp said: \u201cIt\u2019s so long ago that he\u2019s here that I\u2019ve forgotten what I thought but since the first minute of training it was pretty impressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how it is. He\u2019s a top bloke, a top guy and it\u2019s easy to step into the team and the dressing room and stuff like this.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a very naturally confident boy and that helps but it\u2019s super hard work as well and that\u2019s what you see today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The night started badly for Liverpool when Konstantinos Tsimikas\u2019 early free-kick was cleared and the Greece defender was then left on the deck by Marc Albrighton as Leicester raced away to score.<\/p>\n

But Klopp said what stood out to him was the way his players responded.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so long ago that he\u2019s here that I\u2019ve forgotten what I thought but since the first minute of training it was pretty impressive<\/p>\n

\u201cThe headline is that we are 1-0 down but it was a completely different goal \u2013 I\u2019m not sure if it was a foul or not but we could have defended a bit better in that first moment, and then it\u2019s a good pass and a good finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen it is all about the reaction. Our players responded well. We created massive chances that were difficult to miss, but we did, and the goalkeeper saved some and we hit the crossbar.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow (we didn\u2019t score) I have no clue but at half-time it was clear we were going to make sure we didn\u2019t get frustrated. We were not really chasing the game but playing the game and that\u2019s what the boys did. It was a top performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was only a second defeat of the season for Leicester as they chase an instant return to the top flight and Enzo Maresca said the performance was more important than the result.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very, very proud of the players because to come to this stadium against this opponent and to continue playing in the way we want to play I think they showed they were very brave,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven after 45 minutes when we were 1-0 up I was not focused on the result, it\u2019s always important of course, but I told them before the game the focus for us is to go there and continue to play in the way we want.\u201d<\/p>\n
