Klopp understands Sturridge fuss

Daniel Sturridge's performance against Southampton finally showed Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp what the fuss was about.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he finally understood the hype around Daniel Sturridge after his side's 6-1 thrashing of Southampton.

Sturridge made his first start since October and scored a first-half brace before being substituted around the hour mark in the League Cup quarterfinal at St Mary's on Wednesday.

Divock Origi struck a hat trick and Jordon Ibe was also on the score sheet in the comprehensive win.

Klopp said he could finally see what all the fuss was about when it came to Sturridge, riddled by injuries but having shown his quality with 21 Premier League goals in 2013-14.
