The German manager, though, commended the opposition for not allowing his team to create more chances in the first half. He said (as per BBC Match of the Day):

"It was good. It was really good. We probably could've created more in the first half, but it was really nice by Norwich as well. We didn't play quick enough or with enough purpose.

"We scored two good goals created by our young boys. We conceded then. That can happen. Both teams can take a lot from the game. We are in the next round, and Norwich played good."

The Reds are unbeaten in 10 games across competitions, winning seven, since losing 2-1 at Union Saint-Gilloise on matchday six of their UEFA Europa League group stage campaign last month.
