Ragnar Klavan reveals the reason why Liverpool’s defenders keep scoring under Jurgen Klopp
Estonian star shrugs off first goal and says he is not surprised backline keeps notching
RAGNAR KLAVAN shrugged off the first goal of his Liverpool career and insists he was just happy to help the Reds claim another win.
The Estonian defender opened his account for the club against Derby on Tuesday.
He notched the opening goal in their 3-0 win at the iPro Stadium to advance in the EFL Cup.
Although he was obviously delighted to net his first goal for the club since arriving from Augsburg, he was more pleased to help his side into the next round of the competition.
Klavan said: "It's a really nice moment as an individual but I was really happy that I could help the team.
"We had a lot of possession and dominated the game but we didn't score [at first], but I was in the right place at the right moment - or maybe the wrong place, I don't know.
"I was there and made a goal and after that we didn't give away any goals and, to the end, we were good."
It was the second successive game that a central-half has broken the deadlock for Liverpool.
And the 30-year-old revealed it is no coincidence.
