Jurgen Klopp responds in typically brilliant fashion as he's given a giant pasty by Plymouth after Liverpool's FA win

Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to forget his trip to Devon anytime soon and not because Liverpool beat Plymouth 1-0 in their FA Cup third round replay.

The German's trip to Home Park was marked by the League Two side's sponsors Ginsters with a giant Cornish pasty, which had a message on it that read: "Jurgen Klopp, 293 miles, Plymouth to Liverpool."

The gift was presented to Klopp in his post-match press conference after Lucas Leiva's first-half header handed the Reds a 1-0 victory to set up a fourth-round clash with Championship side Wolves at Anfield.

At first glance the Liverpool boss wasn't so sure about the savory snack, saying: "What is that?"

Whether or not the Cornish delicacy went on the long journey back to Liverpool with Philippe Coutinho, Daniel Sturridge and co, it seems Klopp would not be tucking in.

He said: "Unfortunately I don't eat carbohydrates. No carbohydrates in it, right?"

Maybe it's best to steer well clear, Jurgen!
