Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to BT Sport: "It's better to learn the lessons during the game than talk about it after it.

"I thought we were outstanding in the first 30 minutes, then the Salzburg system changed and we lost the ball so that caused us problems.

"The momentum changed and it was really difficult to get a foot in the game. We had to wait until they had scored the third goal, then we were able to strike back.

"I'm not angry - I saw us play really well and try hard to get back into the game and score a really nice goal. You don't need to score six or seven goals.

"[Salzburg] are a good side but the first 30 minutes we made it really difficult for them and played outstanding.

"I told the boys they want to enjoy the whole night and they will fight back.

"This is group is really difficult but we wanted the three points and now it’s game on."

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard on BT Sport: "It feels really good, This was a really hard place to come, added to the pressure of not beating Valencia. And it was the first time for a few travelling in Europe.

"Fikayo Tomori was outstanding again. He has to keep on with that.

"Now Ajax have set their stall out in the group. This gives us confidence and points. Now the hard work begins."

Leicester, Man Utd, Genk, Tottenham, Arsenal.

No easy games, etc, but that's a real testing run for the Premier League leaders.

"We lost control of the game," admits Jurgen Klopp.

Full quotes to come.

There was a lack of concentration, at 3-0 up they got complacent, they though they had won. The defenders seemed to pass on the responsibility of marking to their teammates. They took their foot of the gas and Salzburg exposed them and utilised it. Liverpool switched off and under-estimated their opponents tonight.

Dean Reading: Who would have thought that after two games Liverpool would be second with -1 goal difference. What a cracking game and good win in the end. A lot of teams would not have been able to pick themselves up and find that winning goal.

I need a lie down after that. Bad bad defensive display, lost our heads for 20 mins but got there in the end and luckily no more alarms but a massive wake up call.

The RB Salzburg fans are still making a din inside Anfield. This season they have scored:

"They made it tough for us but I'm happy with the three points tonight."

On Andy Robertson's goal: "He finally scored!"
