Jamie Carragher has labelled Stefan Bajcetic's performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup as "outstanding".
Harvey Elliott secured Liverpool their first victory of 2023 as he fired past Jose Sa early in the first half to book his side's place in the fourth round and set up a reunion with Brighton and Hove Albion.
It was a much-improved showing following Saturday's 3-0 hammering on the south coast, which was fuelled by Klopp's decision to make eight changes for the tie in the West Midlands.

Two of those alterations came in midfield as Thiago, one of three survivors from the Amex, was partnered alongside Naby Keita and Bajcetic.
And it was the performance of the Spaniard that caught the eye of the legendary Carragher, who made over 700 appearances for the Reds during his famed Anfield career.
Taking to Twitter after the game, the Sky Sports pundit heaped honour on Bajcetic for his role in what he described as a "good win" for the Reds.
"Good win for Liverpool," he tweeted. "18yr old Stefan Bajcetic was outstanding."
After missing the defeat at Brighton and the draw with Wolves in the initial third round tie through injury, the eye-catching performance of the midfielder has put him in contention to start Saturday's Premier League clash against Chelsea with Fabinho and Jordan Henderson both drastically out of form.
