Loris Karius has rounded on his critics after another series of blunders in Liverpool’s 3-1 friendly defeat by Borussia Dortmund in North Carolina.

US international Christian Pulisic scored twice in the second half as the German side were victorious in the International Champions Cup match.

But it was much-maligned goalkeeper Karius who bore the brunt of criticism by Liverpool fans again.

Following Karius’ costly errors against Real Madrid in last season’s Champions League final, Liverpool have splashed out £65 million (US$85 million) on Roma goalkeeper Alisson, who is on holiday following his exploits with Brazil at the World Cup.

And Karius was at fault again for Jurgen Klopp’s side on their tour of the US. Dortmund’s third goal came when he parried a weak shot from Pulisic towards Jacob Brunn Larsen, who made no mistake.
