Liverpool defender Nat Phillips covered himself in glory as he put in a man of the match performance as the Reds ran out 2-1 winners over West Ham at Anfield.

Before kick-off it was anticipated Rhys Williams would get the nod, but Jurgen Klopp explained his inclusion in the Champions League squad helped his decision.
Speaking to the press post-match, the boss said: “You know the story and it makes it even more incredible.” Take a watch of the video below:
