Traore: Liverpool are an amazing team

Wolves flyer Adama Traore has given praise to Liverpool as Wolves pushed the league leaders all the way in a gripping contest at Molineux on Thursday evening.

Traore was a constant thorn in the side of the Liverpool side with his electric pace and drive from wide areas and his work was rewarded when he set up Raul Jimenez for the equaliser after Jordan Henderson’s opener.

He continued to cause headaches as the home side pushed for the winner but the Reds held firm and got their rewards when Roberto Firmino was on the spot to score after some smart lead-up play by the captain and Mo Salah.

Speaking after the game the former Barcelona youth player was glowing in his tribute to the league leaders.

The Mirror via BT Sport reported the winger as saying:

“We don't forget they are a great team, an amazing team and one of the best - or the best in Europe.

"Congratulations to them, how they are going in the league but we fight. We will fight to the end."

The 23 year-old also said his team could take great heart of the performance.

“Sad we didn't get the win or the draw but we have to keep pushing, working and taking the positive things, fight to the end.

“Disappointed not to take points but we take the experience.

Meanwhile, Jürgen Klopp was glowing in his comments of Traore after the match.

“ He is unplayable in moments, it’s unbelievable.

“What a player – it’s not only him but he’s so good."

It is not the first time he has paid tribute to the Spaniard this season, saying this before the two teams met last month.

“At Middlesbrough he was exceptional, but somebody had to give him the right information.

"You would never have thought he is that young, but he is still very young, and now he has found it (the right manager) It was always clear it would happen one day, and now it has. Good for Wolves!

“He is really dangerous. In a big space (Leicester striker) Jamie Vardy is difficult to defend, but I would say Traore is even more difficult to defend because his speed is exceptional.”

Klopp was incredibly proud of his players after the hard fought win.

"Wolves are so different to everything else you face.

“We don't go for perfection, we go for a perfect reaction if possible.

“We tried to fight back in difficult situations and that is what the boys did again, and we won the game which is unbelievable."

However the win came at a cost with Sadio Mane coming off with a hamstring injury just after the half hour mark.

Klopp said it speed like a hamstring injury but he wasn’t aware of the true scale of it.

"We lost Sadio.

“He felt something in the hamstring but we don't know yet."
