Liverpool hero Dejan Lovren hails team-mates after sensational Borussia Dortmund comeback
DEJAN LOVREN has hailed Liverpool's belief after they staged an incredible comeback against Borussia Dortmund to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League.
Dejan Lovren celebrates scoring his side's fourth goal of the game
The Reds quickly fell 2-0 down and seemed on the verge of crashing out.
Divock Origi gave the home crowd some hope with a goal shortly after the half-time break but it was cancelled by a classy Marco Reus finish.
But Philippe Coutinho and Mamadou Sakho brought renewed belief and in stoppage Lovren scored the decisive goal to hand Jurgen Klopp's side the win.
And after the match, the Croatian defender praised his team-mates for their character and effort.
He told BT Sport: “It’s an amazing feeling, one of the best games in the last two or three years, we never stopped believing in ourselves.
“We had nothing to lose, it was a great effort from everybody.
“We didn’t expect that we would start like we did, but we showed a lot of character.”
