Jurgen Klopp was delighted after his much-changed Liverpool side secured a perfect 2-1 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday. The German boss made 10 changes from the team that beat Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night in the Europa League, with Roberto Firmino the only man to keep his place from the dramatic victory.And it was Firmino who opened the scoring for the Reds after 41 minutes, before Daniel Sturridge doubled their lead soon afterwards. Josh King grabbed a last-gasp consolation for Bournemouth, but it was Liverpool who held on for three points, with Klopp claiming the freshness in his side allowed them to move on from Thursday night. Daniel Sturridge (4th left) celebrates after doubling Liverpools lead against Bournemouth Because it was nearly a completely new team it was absolutely no problem, we were focused only on this game, Klopp told Sky Sports. We spoke a bit about it on Thursday, but I told the boys that before the game it was a nice night on Thursday but if wed played with the same team we would have had no chance today, absolutely no chance.This is the team that had a chance, if we played our best of course, so really in the preparation for this game we were not [focused] on Thursday anymore. It [beating Dortmund] was nice and today was good too, so we dont have to compare. Three points, perfect.Klopp also reserved praise for the young players on show at the Vitality Stadium, with the likes of Sheyi Ojo, Jordon Ibe and Brad Smith all impressing.The Liverpool boss believes the youngsters have been superb in helping his side cope with a hectic fixture schedule this season.We are used to it (having lots of games), we had it in the past and it will give us an opportunity to have a look at a few young boys, so Im very happy, said Klopp. They did well in the last few months and today a few more of them played well.In this moment we found these young, very talented players but they have to be in the best shape. Theres no doubt about their potential but you need form and shape. We have an unbelievable number of games and hopefully no one else will get injured and well try our best.

Tanaka gave up a home run to Reyes on the first pitch of the game, then earned his major league-high 11th victory as the New York Yankees beat Toronto 3-1 Tuesday night for their 14th straight home win over the Blue Jays. That was the first time Tanaka could remember getting tagged so quickly and said it "threw me off my rhythm a little bit." "Overall, I think my stuff wasnt really there," he said through a translator. Even so, Tanaka (11-1) struck out 10 in six innings and left with an AL-best 1.99 ERA. The right-hander has made 14 starts this season -- hes gone at least six innings in every outing and never permitted more than three earned runs. "What hes done is remarkable," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He wins." Brett Gardner hit a two-run homer off the right-field foul pole and the Yankees sent the AL East leaders to their seventh loss in 10 games. Tanaka made his big league debut April 4 at Toronto and Melky Cabrera hit a leadoff home run on the third pitch. Reyes provided an even faster start with a drive into the lower deck in right, and slapped his hands as he rounded first. "I made up my mind before the game that I was going to swing at the first pitch," he said. "You dont want to face Tanaka with two strikes." Said Girardi: "He just threw a pitch right down the middle and up. Reyes knew what to do." "Reyes is familiar with this ballpark," he said. "He went to the short part of the park." Cabrera followed with a liner between Tanakas legs that knocked off the pitchers glove. But Tanaka scrambled to retrieve the ball behind the mound and threw out Cabrera, and never again allowed a runner past second. Tanaka gave up five hits and walked two in moving ahead of Torontos Mark Buehrle for the most wins in the majors. Buehrle starts Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium in the middle game of the three-game series. The Blue Jays were the second team to face Tanaka twice. He blanked the Chicago Cubs for eight innings in April before they handed him his onnly loss a month later.dddddddddddd Dellin Betances worked two innings and David Robertson closed for his 17th save in 19 tries. New York pitchers combined for 15 strikeouts and became the latest staff to slow down the Blue Jays, limited to 24 runs in their last 11 games. Pitching about 50 miles from his Long Island hometown, Blue Jays rookie Marcus Stroman (3-2) threw 98 pitches in 3 2-3 innings on a sticky night. Gardner gave him a workout right away, grounding out in a 12-pitch at-bat to lead off the first. Kelly Johnson doubled in the third for the Yankees first hit and Gardner pulled a go-ahead home run. Derek Jeter opened the fifth with his second hit of the game and scored his 1,900th run on a single by Mark Teixeira. Jeter is 10th on the career runs list, 19 behind longtime teammate Alex Rodriguez. NOTES: After the game, Toronto reinstated OF Colby Rasmus (hamstring) from the disabled list and optioned OF Anthony Gose to Triple-A Buffalo. ...
