Spin me round Dad! Klopp literally sweeps Oxlade-Chamberlain off his feet
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp swept midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain off his feet during their win over Leicester City.
The former Arsenal man only came onto the pitch for 18 minutes as electric winger Sadio Mane was substituted off.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has enjoyed a revival over the past few games as Klopp has trusted him with more minutes from midfield.
