Jurgen Klopp felt Liverpool could have stopped Eden Hazard's wonder goal against them despite accepting the fact that the Belgian is one of the best around.

“I know exactly how good he is. He’s a special player and he enjoys these one vs one situations. I didn’t need that game to find out about that. If we had one 100% challenge out of the four or five we had, he wouldn’t have been able to do what he did.”

“Stop passes to him? Good idea? Being close? Good idea, but he likes players being close sometimes. We all know we could have stopped that goal but he used that situation. No player is not defendable. We have to close the right spaces.”

There is no doubt Eden Hazard will be the top player to watch in tonight's game as the Belgian has had the best possible start to the season, following a successful World Cup campaign in Russia.
