Jurgen Klopp demanded more passion from his Liverpool players midway through their clash with Wolves on Saturday, as they came from behind to pick up three points.

The Reds were really poor in the first half at Molineux and found themselves 1-0 behind at the break, but dramatically improved from there on in and ran out 3-1 winners.

Cody Gakpo and Andy Robertson scored the goals to put the visitors ahead, before a late Hugo Bueno own goal finished off the scoring.

Szoboszlai says Klopp called on his men to show more passion than they had in the first half, while he also made tactical changes, bringing on Luis Diaz for Alexis Mac Allister and moving Szoboszlai deeper.

‘The key was that we didn’t give up,’ said the Hungarian. ‘At half-time, the manager talked to us about the passion we need in the second half and the work we have to put into the game. We switched the formation and everybody did their job and we turned the game.

‘If I have to play there then I’m playing there. I have to concentrate and focus a little more on the defensive way but still I was up there trying to help the team, trying to shoot – that didn’t happen, but next time!

‘Everybody would be even happier if we are not 1-0 down. But if we like to win like this then let’s continue but let’s win at the end always.’

Szoboszlai has been very impressive since arriving from RB Leipzig over the summer, playing a big role in the Reds picking up 13 points from a possible 15 so far this campaign.

‘I’m just doing my things and I’m really happy that has happened so fast,’ he said. ‘Thanks to the guys because they help me a lot, thanks to the manager that he gives me so much minutes to show myself in the Premier League. I’m just going to continue.’
