Liverpool got back to winning ways on Tuesday night, as they beat RB Leipzig 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 clash.

The Reds came into the game having lost three Premier League games in a row, losing to Brighton, Manchester City and Leicester City.

A trip to Leipzig seemed less than ideal, but Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane struck in the second half to give Liverpool a 2-0 win.

Jurgen Klopp will be delighted with the win, giving Liverpool a great platform for the second leg, and also with a fine clean sheet.

New defender Ozan Kabak played a key role in that clean sheet, turning in a strong display having struggled against Leicester City on Saturday.

The Turkish ace was trusted by Klopp last night, and he was rewarded at full time with a huge hug from the Liverpool boss.

Klopp often hands out bear hugs to players for big performances at full time, and after a fist bump on Saturday, Kabak received that big hug last night.

Liverpool fans spotted the moment, believing it could be ‘life changing’ and ‘do wonders’ for him having receieved that show of appreciation from his boss.

Others praised Kabak’s performance and feel like he has ‘made it’ with that moment, with Klopp’s bear hug clearly held in high regard by supporters.
