LIVERPOOL'S AWARDS NIGHT WINNERS

Player of the Season - Phillipe Coutinho

Goal of the Season - Philippe Coutinho (against Manchester United in the Europa League)

Young Player of the Season - Emre Can

Performance of the Season - Philippe Coutinho (against Manchester City in November)

First Team Players' Player of the Season - Philippe Coutinho

Jurgen Klopp and his first-team squad were at the event in Liverpool, including Daniel Sturridge, captain Jordan Henderson and Andre Wisdom, who has returned following a loan spell at Norwich.

Also in attendance were club chief executive officer Ian Ayre, who is standing down from his position next year.

There was also banned defender Mamadou Sakho and a host of ex-Liverpool stars, including Phil Neal, Jimmy Case and Nigel Spackman.

 The celebrations didn't go on too late, however, as the Reds still have the small matter of a Europa League final to prepare for against Sevilla next Wednesday night.

The trip to Basle in Switzerland will give Klopp another chance at silverware in his first season at the club following Liverpool's defeat by Manchester City in the Capital One Cup final in February.

Liverpool also still have the obstacle of their final Premier League game to hurdle, as they visit The Hawthorns to face West Brom on Sunday.

A top-six finish is still a possibility for Klopp's side but that was made far more difficult after they could only muster a 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Wednesday night, with Christian Benteke's strike nicking a point in stoppage time.

'We want to finish the season really well,' Kolo Toure told LFC TV on the red carpet.

'We've got a really important game against West Brom, then we'll prepare for the [Europa League] final.'

Emre Can added: 'I think we're all looking forward to the game.

'Everyone knows how important the game is and first thing we want to win the Europa League then play in the Champions League next season.'
