“It helps a lot [to have Ronald],” said the Liverpool head coach. “I think we all enjoyed watching Ronald fighting. I think he’s very good in the duels,” he told a press conference after the match.

”Even the first goal, I think he wins two duels in a row, he arrives at the byline and after, it’s not an assist, but it’s worth an assist. And defensively, I think he’s been really, really really good.

”I’m happy for him because I’ve taken him out in the last two games, because we needed more offensive things, at half-time and he has continued working with no issues and today we needed him more. He has given a very, very good 90 minutes.”
