Liverpool FC manager, Jurgen Klopp has heaped praises on Super Eagles striker, Taiwo Awoniyi after he scored against the Reds on Saturday in the Premier League at the City Ground, reports www.totorinews.com.
Awoniyi scored what became the winning goal in the 55th minute to hand all three points and lift Steve Cooper’s side off the bottom of the table. The Nigerian international was a Liverpool player from 2015 to 2021, but never played a minute for Klopp’s team.
Awoniyi spent time training with Liverpool’s first team under the guidance of manager Jurgen Klopp during pre-season preparations before ending his spell with the club in the summer of 2021.
Klopp admitted that he’s delighted with the progress of his former pupil but at the same time he was not too pleased Awoniyi was on target against his side.
Reacting to the goal, Klopp told the BBC;
“He had a sensational development. He has arrived where he belongs and I am happy for him, but not today so much.”
