WATCH: The stout-hearted tackle that proves that Kolo Toure did not deserve to be on the losing side

It's not often that a defender on the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline can hold his head up high but Kolo Toure can certainly do that.

The Liverpool centre-half lasted 82 minutes against Sevilla and poured every ounce of heart he had into a manful performance which could well be his last one for the club. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/733032026329255940 Toure showed more pace than we've seen from the 35-year-old in years and he saved Liverpool's necks on more than one occasion. The most spectacular example of valiant defending came just after the Reds had conceded when he dived in on a strike from Kevin Gameiro in an act that had Liverpool fans crying out for the Ivorian to be rewarded with a new contract. https://twitter.com/AFCKoyes/status/733022994356940800 https://twitter.com/Klopptimism/status/733022094238306304 https://twitter.com/GerrardEsque/status/733023259214548993 https://twitter.com/natefc/status/733023740372586496 https://twitter.com/DaraDeBrun/status/733022207438381057 https://twitter.com/MenInBlazers/status/733022307128610816 https://twitter.com/Ryanbabel/status/733022154141360128 https://twitter.com/jacklusby_/status/733022279030996992 https://twitter.com/DianaKristinne/status/733024474807861249 https://twitter.com/mckoyy1/status/733022307879387136 https://twitter.com/DanPaddison/status/733022356386533376 https://twitter.com/Black_Man999/status/733027146025832448
