Hat-trick star Origi has to learn: Klopp

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp attempted to keep Divock Origi's feet on the ground after the Belgium international opened his account for the club with a hat-trick at Southampton.

Origi, 20, had not scored in 10 previous appearances since joining up with Liverpool in the close season following his 2014 transfer from French side Lille, where he spent last season on loan.

He scored three times as Liverpool came from behind to demolish Southampton 6-1 on Wednesday, taking them into the League Cup semi-finals, but Klopp said he was still some way from the finished article.

"It was really good from him, but he's still young and has to learn," said Klopp, whose side will play Stoke City over two legs in the last four.

"He has to be patient, that's the truth. In 10, 15 years, when he looks back on his career, he'll have no idea about the games he didn't make (play) in this moment. He can take the time to train."

Origi's display eclipsed that of his strike partner Daniel Sturridge, who marked his first start under Klopp with a brace that sparked the game's turnaround after Sadio Mane's first-minute header for Southampton.
