Ryan Gravenberch says that Jurgen Klopp's final piece of advice to him before making his full Liverpool debut was to just be himself.
Repaying Klopp's decision in full, he marked the occasion by assisting Luis Diaz's goal that completed the turnaround in the second half.
The 21-year-old also created five chances, drew four fouls - top for the team in both categories - as well as making eight ball recoveries before being substituted.

"For sure [I enjoyed it]. We didn't start so well but we had the mentality to turn it around again. I was very happy,"
"For myself it was good but also sloppy sometimes, I have to work on that and the rest was okay."
"They did it [close down the spaces] good, but also on our side we had to do it better because we had two sixes and I'm higher on the pitch. We have to do it better and I think then we'll do good."
The No.38 also touched on his goal contribution, saying:
"I think I saw the space behind, Harvey [Elliott] got the ball and played it to me. I saw Lucho in my corner [of my eye] and it was a nice cross. Great finish as well."
"No [the manager doesn't ask anything different of me], actually not. Yesterday in training he said to me 'feel free, do whatever you want'. Of course you have to do your things but at the end he said 'feel free, show yourself, show the Ryan you are'."
"[Life at Liverpool is] very good," was Gravenberch's parting message.
