Klopp hails 'brilliant' Sturridge after win

"(But) we have a football game and you want to talk about one player at the first moment. 

Meanwhile, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has dismissed suggestions there are "problems" in his relationship with Jordon Ibe. 

Daniel Sturridge played a key role in both goals (and twice hit the woodwork) as his quality in relation to nearly every other player on the pitch told. 

"He's a special player.'Studge' is the type of man who can be out the game for 60 or 70 minutes and all of a sudden will get himself two goals", he said. 

When the argument was made that Sturridge's goal had won Liverpool the game, Klopp retorted: "That's how you understand football?" He did well today with the pass for the first goal, and the cross for the second. 

The Sun claim four Premier League clubs have registered their interest in the Welshman, in addition to one La Liga outfit. 

Meanwhile Everton manager Roberto Martinez does not intend to rest Everton players for Wednesday's Merseyside derby against Liverpool - even though it comes just three days before an FA Cup semi-final with Manchester United. The Bournemouth keeper was caught out five minutes before half time, however, when Sturridge's back-heel forced Boruc into a fulllength save and Firmino was on hand to follow up and finish from close range. 

"Kolo's problem is a little bit more". That's why we changed it. I'm really pleased for the boys, for all of them, how they played. 

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp observes his team as they warm-up shortly before their English Premier League soccer match against Bournemouth, at the Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth, England, Sunday April 17, 2016. 

"Sometimes rotation is for resting players for another tournament, but in our case we only rotate because the most important tournament is still and always will be the Premier League and we wanted to win this game". 

Fixtures are coming thick and fast for Liverpool and their involvement in the latter stages of the Europa League means they are playing two games a week with Sturridge alternating between a starting berth and a place on the bench. 

"I wouldn't say we deserved anything".
